Orphaned Mary Lennox, a ten year old English girl born and raised in India, is sent to the moors of Yorkshire, England, to live with a brooding uncle she has never met, on an estate that seems to be locked in the past. There, she finds her personality blossoming among the other residents of the estate as they bring new life to a long-neglected garden.

Curtain Players offers an information session for each of its productions as a help for actors seeking roles, but attendance is not required to audition. The event is an opportunity for actors to become acquainted with the community theatre organization, to discuss the play with the director, and to ask questions about the audition process, rehearsal period, and production plans. Those interested in working behind the scenes are also invited to attend.
Curtain Players conducts open auditions for its productions.
Roles are not cast in advance, and, unless specified otherwise in the role's description, are open to all without regard to race or ethnicity.
Casting decisions are made by the director and a casting committee comprised of a member of the theatre board, a general member of the organization, and individuals of the director's choosing.
Please bring a picture and resume to auditions.
Please bring 16 - 21 measures of a prepared song, in a classic musical theatre style.
