Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla need a boy to help with the chores around their farm on Prince Edward Island, so they make that request to the Halifax Orphanage. They are not expecting Anne Shirley, a vivacious orphan with a wild imagination and breathless fascination, to find a place she can call home. ArtsPower’s heart-warming, 50-minute musical, based on Lucy Maud Montgomery’s beloved novels, follows Anne on her unlikely journey to find the family she’s always wanted.

ArtsPower's touching and humorous musical is accompanied by our comprehensive Activity Guides that includes an interview with the actress playing Anne Shirley, historical information, learning to act in a scene from the show, and playwriting.

The show's themes focus on family, friendship, self-discovery, and adventure.
