Audrey Bell
as Mary Lennox
The Secret Garden is Audrey’s first JPAC production, and she has felt very welcomed by the entire team. Audrey has gravitated to the stage ever since she could walk, and what she loves most is musical theatre. Her stage experience has ranged from school productions to local children’s theatre companies such as Actors Garden and Ovation Academy for the Performing Arts. Some of her recent credits include Kira in Xanadu, Matilda in Matilda Jr., and Seti in an original production Tut, Tut! When not on stage, Audrey is a diligent student, a spunky sister, and a conscientious daughter. She is grateful to the friends and family who continue to support her theatrical endeavors and the JPAC cast and crew who made this a meaningful experience.
