It became a reality on Thursday for Emma Rudy.
This summer, Emma will become the 19th actor to play Anne Shirley in the Charlottetown Festival’s Anne of Green Gables — The Musical.
It’s a role she’s wanted her whole life, and on Thursday Emma was in town for the “wig fitting” and had a chance to see herself as the famed redhead for the first time.
The Charlottetown Festival’s crown jewel musical plays June 24 to September 28 in the Homburg Theatre at the Confederation Centre of the Arts.
