In this story, from the same author of The Secret Garden, audiences will identify with Sara as she begins her adventures in "Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies"; laugh with her as she brings happiness to others; weep with her as her fortune changes from rich girl to poor orphan; and rejoice with her when strange events bring still another reversal of her destiny. Audition/Callback dates: (open to Beck Center students ages 6 to 19*) Saturday, September 19: 3:00 to 6:00pm & Sunday, September 20: 1:00 to 4:00pm Callbacks: Monday, September 21 from 5:00 to 7:30pm Starting Wednesday, September 9, you may sign up for a one-hour audition slot at Beck Center Customer Service or by calling 216-521-2540 x10. *Please note: Youth Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our Fall 2015 semester.
