Toronto's Elgin Theatre Presents ANNE OF GREEN GABLES 5/7-24

Aubrey Dan is pleased to present live onstage, the Canadian classic Anne of Green Gables - The Musical ™ , a co-production between Dancap Productions Inc. and The Charlottetown Festival, P.E.I. Based on L.M. Montgomery’s popular novel, Canada’s longest-running musical and a most beloved export; Anne ™ brings Montgomery’s pages to life onstage. It tells the story of freckle-faced Anne Shirley with her fiery temper, passion for melodrama and penchant for misadventures as she brings laughter, love and more than a little consternation to the village of Avonlea. Anne ™ runs from May 7 to 24, 2009 at Toronto’s Elgin Theatre, 189 Yonge Street (at Queen). Tickets are available now by phone at 416-644-3665 or online at dancaptickets.com and start as low as $25.

All of us at Dancap are very excited to bring this P.E.I. treasure to Toronto for all those who have not had the chance to experience this Canadian classic.”

It is almost 18 years since we last staged Anne ™ in Toronto, and we could not be happier that Dancap Productions is bringing Canada’s favourite redhead to Toronto,” says David MacKenzie, CEO of the Confederation Centre of the Arts.
