Based on the classic children’s story from Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden tells the story of Mary Lennox. When her parents pass away from the cholera epidemic in India, Mary is taken in by her reclusive uncle Archibald and his disabled son Colin. The gothic estate of his Yorkshire home bears the shadow of haunting loss, but as Mary explores her new home, she finds herself drawn to a mysterious and magical secret garden, long abandoned by Archibald in the wake of losing his wife. This play tells the heart-wrenching and beautiful tale of finding hope and renewal in the face of grief. With a score filled with haunting melodies and lovely themes by Marsha Norman and Lucy Simon, The Secret Garden is sure to become a new favorite at CWTP.

“The Secret Garden: The Musical” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.
