Adapted from Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic book of the same name, The Secret Garden tells the story of a lonely orphan Mary Lennox who discovers an abandoned garden as she sets out to make it grow again, unaware of the secrets it holds within its walls. The further she digs, the more the mysteries of the past emerge and the more exciting secrets she unearths.

Our theatre School Director, Benjamin Cole, is excited to share a favorite childhood story- "a tale that has taken root in our hearts and minds, sprouting up again when we need to be reminded of the potential for friendship, growth, and possibility. We hope our play inspires our budding actors to realize their full potential, encouraging them to find beauty and connection in strange and beautiful places."
