The Secret Garden
Music and Lyrics by Marsha Norman
Music by Lucy Simon
Adapted from the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Enchanting and inspiring, the beloved book by Frances Hodgson Burnett comes to life in this beautiful Tony-Award® winning musical, The Secret Garden as we “unlock” the potential of the new Helgeson Learning Lab Theatre.
After being orphaned in India, 10 year-old Mary is returned to England to live with her melancholy uncle at his neglected estate. Haunted by the ghosts of her past and the secrets of her uncle, she innocently unlocks the forgotten gate to an untended garden on the estate grounds. From its soil, fertile with memory and “magic,” springs hope and healing for them both. This special production, created to celebrate the GREAT Setting The Stage Campaign, features a local community cast of performers that will showcase all the potential of our new Learning Lab.
