Review: THE SECRET GARDEN at TAFE: Theatre Arts For Everyone
by Sandra Harberger - February 22, 2025
The well-known characters of Mary Lennox and Colin Craven were played by Braelyn Angell and Henry Gambrill. I enjoyed their transformation from angry children in pain to those with hope and kindness. Josiah Titus played their friend Dickon Sowerby with strength and confidence. Not surprising since J...
