[BrunswickACT]

BRUNSWICK ALUMNI COMMUNITY THEATRE Presents: *** AUDITION NOTICE ***“A LITTLE 
PRINCESS”Based on the story by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Adapted by John Vreeke
Music and Underscoring Composed by
Will Severin and George David Weiss
Originally produced by the New York State Theatre Institute
 
    “A Little Princess” takes place in the early 1900’s and tells a story of the 
extremely rich
and the extremely poor in London. It shows how differently they were treated and 
how much
they were segregated. Sara Crew was born in India to a very rich man named Ralph 
Crewe,
her father and he is very close to his daughter, and he is upset when he has to 
send her away
to a boarding school because at that time India wasn’t a safe place for children 
to live, the
climate was terrible and there was a war going on. Since Sara was wealthy she 
was treated
very well at the boarding school.
 
    When her father dies, she is told she has no money and is an orphan. Mrs. 
Minchin, the
lady who owns the boarding school, wants to throw her out on the street but 
instead keeps
her as a servant Sara is deprived of food and made to sleep in the rat infested 
attic. A new
neighbor, who is very rich, moves next door with an Indian servant and 
everyone’s lives
change drastically.
 
Featuring musical underscoring and two songs, this is a perfect show for the 
entire family.
