A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR It has been an honor to tackle this work with an incredible cast and creative team. I am so grateful to each of them for their talent, openness and commitment to creating a space where this story can be told. It is more important than ever to share stories of prejudice and injustice. We must courageously examine the sins of the past in order to build a better future. Parade highlights the dangers of neighbor turning their back on neighbor and demonstrates what happens when a society chooses to deflect and use a perceived ‘other’ as the scapegoat. We hope this work will inspire conversation, understanding and reflection in our community.

Joseph C. Walsh

The Garden Theatre acknowledges that we occupy the ancestral lands of the Timucua and Seminole people, who are the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognize their continuing connection to the land, water, and air that Garden Theatre consumes. We pay respect to the Timucuans, Seminoles, and to their elders past, present, and emerging.

There will be a 15 intermission.

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.
