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.

Auditon information from the director...

Imagination Theater will be holding auditions for the very funny farce "Run For Your Wife" by Ray Cooney on Saturday, September 8th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at our theater on the El Dorado County Fairgrounds. The cast consist of six men (ages 20 to 60) and two women ages (20 to 45). This play is about a taxi cab driver in London who has two wives and how he delicately keeps a schedule on seeing and living with them until one night when he sees a mugging take place and tries to help and gets knocked out and taken to the hospital. He gives two addresses where he lives and the investaging officers put the entire play into a farcical spin. Great fun, fast moving and side spliting lines make this a great challenge for any actor. Actors will use a English accent.
There will be cold readings from the script and some improvisations. We will rehearse most every Wednesday evening starting in September (once a week) then in January three nights a week unitl we open on Feburary 15th. Show runs Feburary 15 to March 3rd. If you have never done a farce here is a great opportunity to exercise your acting ability and have a lot of fun doing it. If you have any questions, contact Lanny at 530-903-6361.

This madcap British farce is the story of mischievous London cab driver, John Smith, who has two wives, two lives and a tight schedule to keep! Trouble brews when Smith is mugged and ends up in the hospital. When two addresses are discovered, the police investigate and Smith becomes hilariously entangled in his own hopeless attempts to explain himself.

Mary Smith (John Smith's wife) She lives in Wimbledon, age between 20 and 35, a little reserved by very sweet and considerate.
Barbara Smith (John Smith's other wife) She lives in Streatham, age between 25 and 40, more outgoing, sexy, and playful.
Both ladies ages are appropriate but I will cast younger or older if they can play the parts.

Detective Sergeant Thoughton - Age 20 to 30, wears plain clothes, very serious about his work and very detailed orientated. Works out of the Wimbledon Police Station.

Stanley - John's good friend, who lives upstairs. Age 20 to 35, unemployed, somewhat lazy but dependable. He is a bit of know it all.

Detective Sergeant Porterhouse - Age 30 to 45, wears plain clothes, friendly and concerned about everyone involved in the case. Is detailed and takes lots of notes. Works out of the Streatham Police Station.

Both Detectives are investigating the mugging that John Smith was involved in. What is funny is that both Detectives have different addresses for John Smith and are trying to get to the bottom of this mystery with hilarious results.

Photographer - Age 20 to 25, works for the newspaper, and was sent out to get a picture of John (which he does not want) for fear that the other wife, Barbara will read it in the newspaper.

Bobby Franklin - Age 20 to 35, "Designer" feminent. A busy body, Barbara's new neighbor who likes to drop in unannounced. Very charming but talks too much. He is always having problems with his apartment and partner.

Time: Mid 1980's

Place: Two apartment's in outlying areas of London, Streatham and Wimbledon.

Fast paced farce, great opportunites for actors. More infomation call Director, Lanny Langston, at (530) 903-6361.

42nd Street tells the story of a humble, naïve young actress named Peggy Sawyer who has come to audition for a new Broadway musical. Unfortunately, due to her nervousness, Peggy arrives to the audition late and misses her chance to join the chorus. Luckily, Peggy soon catches the eye of the famous director, Julian Marsh, and he gives Peggy her big break. However, the show's aging leading lady, Dorothy Brock, quickly grows to dislike Peggy. On opening night, Ms. Brock falls and breaks her ankle. Panic spreads through the company, as the show is doomed for closure, until it is suggested that Peggy take the roll. In only thirty-six hours, Peggy learns twenty-five pages, six songs and ten dance numbers and becomes a star.

Final Show of Camelot Sunday, April 15

We have enjoyed our run of Camelot and are sad to bid this land farewell  Please don't miss out on the final show this Sunday, April 15 at 2:00 p.m.  Seating availability can be viewed at http://www.it-tickets.org/ and the box office will be open on Sunday mid-day prior to the show to assist you.

Story Synopsis...A Little Princess

This engaging musical adaptation of the classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett opens with a happy Sara Crewe, heiress to a large fortune. Enrolled at Miss Minchin's seminary in Victorian England, her life takes a dramatic turn when she receives news of the loss of her father... and her fortune. Sara is forced by the greedy Minchin to become a servant and live in a wretched attic room. When a mysterious gentleman from India moves next door, curious things begin to happen. Sara even discovers that her fortune has been retrieved. A touching and beautiful score adds a magical touch to this enchanting show: "The Best Gift of All," "A Proper English Girl," "A Sunny Day in London," and of course the title song, “A Little Princess.”

A Little Princess is cast!
