Just saw Annie at Stratford Festival and walked out feeling like my inner child had been hugged.

Harper Rae Asch is a star as Annie — confident, radiant, and totally captivating. The entire cast, from the scene-stealing “Little Girls” to the brilliantly messy Miss Hannigan (Laura Condlin), brings this classic to life with heart and sparkle.

Dan Chameroy’s Daddy Warbucks and Jennifer Rider-Shaw’s luminous Grace added layers of warmth, chemistry, and elegance. Even Sandy the dog had us all under their spell.

This isn’t just a nostalgic musical — it’s a reminder that kindness matters and hope really can shine through.

Go see it. You’ll leave a little lighter.

🇨🇦 DULUX Paints Wants YOU to Help Rename Canada's Iconic Red! ❤️

Did you know that the bold red found on our Canadian flag, sports jerseys, and “Made in Canada” labels is officially called... Federal Identity Program (FIP) Red? 😬

Let’s be honest — that name doesn’t exactly scream patriotic pride. That’s why DULUX® Paints is giving Canadians the chance to help give our national colour a name that truly reflects who we are.

🗳️ The “Rename The Red” campaign is on!
From June 28 to July 19, cast your vote for a more fitting name — think True North Red, Autumn Maple, or Lumberjacket Red — and help give our most iconic colour the patriotic punch it deserves!

📍 Vote online: www.dulux.ca/diy/CanadaRed
📍 Or visit any of the 240+ Dulux paint stores across Canada!

Because if our dollar can be called a loonie and maple syrup is liquid gold, it’s about time our red had its own legendary name too. 🇨🇦
