Starting today, fans can go to www.theannesearch.comfor more information on the new series, how to submit an audition and more information on Canada’s open casting calls.
“ANNE” is a coming-of-age story about an outsider who against all odds and numerous challenges, fights for acceptance for her place in the world, and for love. The series centers on a young orphaned girl who, after an abusive childhood spent in orphanages and the homes of strangers, is mistakenly sent to live with an elderly spinster and her aging brother. Over time, 13 year-old Anne will transform their lives and eventually the small town in which they live, with her unique spirit, fierce intellect and brilliant imagination.
While the new series will follow a similar storyline to the book, set in 1900’s PEI, that millions of readers around the world know and love, ANNE will also chart new territory. Anne and the rest of the characters will experience new adventures reflecting timeless issues including themes of identity, sexism, bullying, prejudice, and trusting one’s self.
The adaptation is being written solely by Emmy-award winning writer Moira Walley-Beckett (BREAKING BAD, FLESH AND BONE) who will Executive Produce withMiranda de Pencier (BEGINNERS) of Northwood Entertainment.
About the casting, Moira Walley Beckett says, “I’m very excited about this search! I’m looking for an ANNE who is contemporary: smart, quirky, fierce and spirited, but also insecure and wildly emotional. ANNE is mercurial and complicated. I can’t wait to fall in love with an auditioning actress and say “that’s my ANNE!”
Producer, Miranda de Pencier adds, “Everybody loves Lucy Maud Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables. And because Anne is a character so many girls can relate to, we thought it would be great to give every girl a chance to actually BE ANNE. That’s why we’re opening up the casting search to girls around the world, from professional child actors to discovering new talent who believe they have what it takes to be the new ANNE. We can’t wait to see who we find!”

Tricks To Finding A Daycare Space

I get calls everyday for people looking for a daycare spot and it is exhausting to turn people away everyday. So what is the trick to getting into a daycare if there is a shortage of childcare workers in your area? If you are trying to find childcare in the Okanagan it can be an overwhelming task. We have a huge shortage of childcare workers and our city is growing at a rapid rate. So how do you  find a great daycare space  for your family and what should you look for?  When searching for a daycare you want to ensure it’s the right fit for you and your family because this person is essentially helping to raise your child. Take your time while looking even if you are in a hurry because not everyone has the same methods, beliefs or attitudes towards how a child should be raised. What works for them may clash with what you want for your child. Plus you want your child to have fun at daycare while learning about life so look for the best fit for that important factor. Are you looking for
