The Morrison Center Presents THE SECRET GARDEN, 2/17

The Secret Garden is the last of three classic stories presented by professional actors in a staged reading in the Morrison Center's beautiful Recital Hall. This completes the 7th season of the Family Reading Series. With bits of costumes, sound effects and music, characters from great works of fiction and drama come alive in theatre of the imagination where you become a part of the story.

Normally the 500 year old Misselthwaite Manor on the Yorkshire moors isn't a place for a child to grow up. And there is a big mystery about a secret garden that had been locked up ten years ago. Come experience the story of young Mary Lennox, newly arrived from India, as she discovers new friends, helps to heal a sickly boy and reveals the secrets of this mysterious place. (Every child will receive a special packet of flower seeds!)

Tickets available at the Morrison Center Box Office, all Select-a-Seat outlets, online at IdahoTickets.com or call (208) 426-1110.

Located on the campus of Boise State University, the 2,037-seat Velma V. Morrison Center for the Performing Arts is Idaho's premier performing arts center. Nestled on the banks of the Boise River, with a panoramic view of the city, parks and foothills, the Center's 10-story stage house is a recognizable fixture of the Capitol's picturesque skyline. The realization of a life-long dream of Harry W. Morrison, and championed by his widow, Velma, the Center opened its doors on April 7, 1984. Today the Center is recognized as a major destination for arts and culture, annually hosting hundreds of live entertainment and arts education offerings that serve to enrich the lives of patrons of all ages. As a Boise State affiliate, the Center is a non-profit organization supported by ticket sales, facility rentals, donations and the generous support of the Morrison Center Endowment Foundation, Inc.
