A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR It’s a tale as old as time…But time changes, so why don’t our tales or how we tell them? When I was a little girl Beauty and the Beast was a staple in my home. I loved the magic, I loved the romance, I loved that the heroine of the story also loved books as much as I did. But I was also very keenly aware that that world didn’t belong to me, or so I thought. I empathized with Belle, but I knew I couldn’t be her. And as a little girl who loved this princess so much, there was always a small part of me that felt outside of her, and that made me sad. As a mother with two little girls, whom I’m raising to be two strong BLACK WOMEN, I don’t think any little girl should ever feel like they are outside of the magic. Magic should be for all of us. Love should be for all of us. Fairy tales should be for all of us. As a child, my jadedness considered fairy tales as happily ever afters, that stopped at the laughter - but never actually got to the after. I know as an adult that there was an after it just hadn’t been created for all of us yet, and I want my girls to create the after. My little girls are fortunate enough to live in a world where they can see themselves represented more than I could, and so it was important to me to be intentional with this classic and to allow this classic to transform into something that every child can see themselves represented in, and give them permission to create the worlds they want to see, how they want to see them. Why do we have these preconceived notions of who these characters are? It’s a tale about being human, it’s a tale about love, it’s a tale about finding your way home or more importantly knowing that you were there already, and creating space to be who you are. Isn’t that who we all are? Isn’t that what we all want? Isn’t that what we all deserve? If you answered yes, then I invite you to come into the story as your whole self and no one else. And I invite you to leave with the ability to create a world that will always exist to tell the stories of all of us, and that lasts through all time. Roberta Emerson

DANIEL MILLS APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM Garden Theatre is honored to house the William Daniel Mills Apprenticeship Program. Harold and Rosy Mills selected the Garden to launch this new apprenticeship program for young diverse artists ages 13 through 22. This generous gift and program was created to honor the memory of their beloved son Daniel Mills, who tragically passed away in 2020. The program, which launched this month, will potentially expand to other arts organizations in Central Florida. For the 2021-22 Season, the Garden accepted 30 apprentices in areas of performance, directing, design/tech, playwriting, stage management, and education. Apprentices take Garden Theatre Education masterclasses, camps, and classes at no cost, in addition to attending rehearsals, performances, and other events also at no cost. Apprentices will also be considered for paid opportunities working on Garden Theatre mainstage productions. “Theatre brought joy to Daniel’s life, and the study of theatre was his passion. He committed himself to learning techniques, styles, and ideologies. He was a true student of the trade. This program’s education and experiential learning focus is a wonderful way to honor our beautiful Daniel,” says the Mills family. The Garden would like to thank the Mills Family for entrusting us to keep Daniel’s legacy thriving in our arts community. The Garden Theatre’s apprentices will be led by Education Director Nick Bazo, Associate Artistic Director Roberta Emerson, and Artistic Director Joseph C. Walsh.
