Re: Quote of the day

I had the opportunity to be in a local production of "The Secret Garden"
several years ago as Mrs Medlock. I agree that it is not like the book, but
oh the music. I had the only nonsinging part in the show. That was
frustrating. They finally agreed I could sing backstage with the children's
chorus. Lovely show to do with a small group. My daughter was stage manager
so it was fun to spend time with her too. The children's leads were shared.
The little boys had never been onstage before. The girls had had chorus
parts. It was fun to watch those youngsters learn to speak & sing out. No
one talked to them of being scared & they just got hooked on the excitement
of it.
