Please note, drop-ins are wel- come but will have to fit in as schedule allows. Bring one song that shows your vocal range. You may be asked to read from the script. All roles are open. Particularly look- ing for Dickon (Tenor 16-30 Yorkshire accent), Mary Len- nox (Mezzo Soprano 10-14 Standard British accent), and Colin (Male soprano 10-14 Standard British accent). This is the musical based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, book and lyrics by Marsha Norman; music by Lucy Simon. The Secret Garden is the story of Mary Lennox, a rich, spoiled child who finds herself sud- denly an orphan when cholera wipes out the entire Indian village where she was liv- ing with her parents. She is sent to live in England with her only surviving relative, an uncle who has lived an unhappy life since the death of his wife ten years prior. Archibald’s son, Colin, has been ignored by his father, who sees Colin only as the cause of his wife’s death. This is essentially the story of three lost, unhappy souls who, together, learn how to live again while bringing Colin’s mother’s garden back to life.
