We just got the news after a day of torture waiting for the results. Grace got the lead role of Mary Lennox in the musical
Secret Garden. She is so very excited for this role! She may even get to break out her British accent:) The role is pretty challenging, acting wise and she does also have a vocal solo..."The Girl I Mean To Be" as well as other duets and singing pieces. We know some of the cast...like the role of Archibald and Lily and they are amazing singers and actors. Grace even auditioned with the man that will play Dr. Neville Craven and he too was amazing. So very talented cast for a very beautiful play.
We hope that you can come support Grace....lead roles like this are few and far between for a girl Grace's age. It is very likely that she will not have an opportunity at another role like this until she is in highschool. So if you can....come see it! And read the book too! We read the book when Grace was pretty young and Grace has recently reread it! Very wonderful classic.
Orphaned in India, 11 year old Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire to live with her reclusive uncle Archibald and his invalid son Colin. The estate's many wonders include a magical garden, which beckons the children with haunting melodies and the "Dreamers," spirits from Mary's past who guide her through her new life.
