You may bring a "boombox" to play music for your audition vocal as well.

This enchanting classic of children's literature is reimagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and Marsha Norman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of "'Night Mother".  Orphaned in India, 11 year-old Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire to live with her embittered, reclusive uncle Archibald and his invalid son Colin.  The estate's many wonders include a magic garden which beckons the children with haunting melodies and the "Dreamers", spirits from Mary's past who guide her through her new life, dramatizing The Secret Garden's compelling tale of forgiveness and renewal.  Based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Main cast is 12 male parts and 11 female parts, with many additional roles for the "dreamers."  Major children roles (4) are between the ages of 10-14.  All actors ages 6 and up are encourage to audition and be a part of the show.

To find out more about the show, go to samuelfrench.com and search for "The Secret Garden," or research it on the web.  Book and Lyrics by Marsha Norman, Music by Lucy Simon.

Take a walk down memory lane by reviewing our history of shows.

About us:

Curtain Call Theatre was started in 1994. Our first production was the Pat Cook comedy, "Three Murders and it’s only Monday" at Montgomery/Lonsdale High School. In 1996 we did our first musical, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".

Curtain Call Theatre’s season has grown over the years and now consists of three productions:

Our summer show is normally a large cast musical. Performances are at New Prague High School in even numbered years and in Montgomery at either Montgomery-Lonsdale High School or atin odd numbered years.

Our fall show can be almost anything, a comedy, a drama, a collection of one act plays, or just about anything else. It is usually performed at New Prague Middle School during the last two weekends (Friday nights and Saturday nights) in October.

In winter we present a dinner theatre at Hilltop Hall in Montgomery. Hilltop Hall is a beautifully restored orchestra hall from about 1892, when every community in the area had an orchestra. This show is normally a broad comedy. It is performed the last two weekends in February (Friday nights and Saturday nights and one Sunday matinee the second weekend).

See the "CCT History" page for a list of all the shows we’ve done.
