Good family show. Once again Sylvia has given some logistics problems, but they could be worked out . She might even work with us on it.
I am not familiar with the story, but I suspect it is fairly well known. Much like Secret Garden, it is likely to draw. Keep it in the mix.
This is awful. Nobody's ever heard of it. Painfully obvious plot. Cheesy ending. I can't imagine any adults who would sit through this, children who would find this other than silly, or adult actors who would want to get within a mile of this stinker.
Stu
I loved this story as a child. It has name recognition and a following of fans. This is the movie that made me fall in love with Shirley Temple when I was a child. I think the script captures the charm of the story. Anyone familiar with the movie version will not be disappointed. I vote yes.
I've always loved this story. Little girls and their moms will like it. Boys? Not so much! Keep it in the mix, but let's keep looking.
Well known and well liked story. The charm and essence of the story is captured in this script. This will be a world premiere of her script.
The characters of the two proprietor sisters are flushed out, the other adult characters seem to be dressing.
Yes, Sylvia Ashby will work with us. Already she sent me the part she's revised.
Appeals to girls. For boys, we could consider Little Lord Fauntleroy. Frances Hodgson Burnett, author of the storybook, wrote a play of Fauntleroy. She also wrote a play of A Little Princess. The Sara Crewe story was first a serial in a magazine. Then Frances Hodgson Burnett wrote a play. She found the play had new characters that hadn't been in the original story, so she wrote a new book A Little Princess: being the whole story of Sara Crew now told for the first time.
My vote is yes let's continue to consider this one.
I really enjoyed this script. As with "The Secret Garden" our target audience will enjoy it. I know Sylvia is continuing to work on the script so I am eager to see her revisions. It is a definite yes for me.
