THE SECRET GARDEN Arizona Premiere is Coming to Southwest Shakespeare

Southwest Shakespeare Company will present THE SECRET GARDEN, in an intimate performance at an astonishing and historic space crafted by Frank Lloyd Wright--the Music Pavilion at Taliesin West.

THE SECRET GARDEN tells the story of young Mary Lennox as she is sent to live in her estranged uncle's spooky house where she discovers a hidden, magical garden. This transformative journey brings Mary from sorrow to joy, teaching her-and the audience-about the healing power of nature and the process of self-discovery inherent in helping others.

James Cougar Canfield (writer/director) is a NYC based playwright, actor, and director with an MFA in Acting from East 15 Acting School in London. James serves as Executive Director and Co-founder of Tier5 Theatre Company. Though he has graced our stage before, you might know him best as the adapter and star of our sold-out hit LADIES IN WAITING: THE JUDGMENT OF HENRY VIII from 2018.

Starring local talent: Wyatt Murphy, Clinton Vance, Bethany Baca, Cam Blackwell, Ryan Glover, Bonnie Beus Romney, Becki Zaritsky, Christopher Elliot, Devon Mahon, Jessica Parsons, Maurice Anthony
