Character Breakdown:
Actor 1: Mary
Female, any ethnicity, age 10-12. A lonely, sour young girl whose journey from spoiled and withdrawn to compassionate and courageous is the heart of the story.

Actor 2: Colin
Male, age 10. Mary's cousin and Archibald's son. Colin has spent nearly his entire life confined indoors following the death of his mother and has been led to believe he is frail and destined to die. Through Mary's friendship and the magic of the secret garden, he transforms from a terrified, tantrum-throwing child who bosses around the staff to a confident, mischievous, healthy boy who is ready to receive his father’s love. Tenor. British dialect. This role will be double cast.
