Hurry! It&#8217;s Almost Christmas<\/em> and a musical fairy tale called <em>The Bell<\/em>. Vandenhoven has worked on many audio dramas in the past including <em>The Geminus Conspiracy<\/em>, <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em>, and <em>Snow White<\/em>. She has also won the Theatre BC National Playwriting Competition.<\/p>\n<p>The pair met while working on a previous audio drama in which Dupuis was cast as a character. They saw an opportunity to adapt the well-known story in <em>The Secret Garden\u2014<\/em>it currently doesn&#8217;t exist as an audio drama.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly all of <em>The Secret Garden<\/em> characters have been cast with voice actors from all over the world via connections Dupuis and Vandenhoven have made over the years. In the past, when Dupuis and Vandenhoven have done audio dramas, cast members would need to record together. However, since technology has advanced the recordings can now be done remotely. Noelle will have a part in the audio drama but which role has not yet been determined.<\/p>\n<p>They hope that fans of the popular story will enjoy their production.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Audio dramas are an inviting way of enhancing your listening experience,\u201d said Dupuis, &#8220;People really enjoy audio books so this adds to that type of experience. You can listen to the entire story in just an hour so it\u2019s ultimately more time effective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dupuis and Vandenhoven are in the final stages of preparing the script. The audio drama will be published by Blackstone Audio and will be available in the fall of 2019 through Audible, Amazon, iTunes and more.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
