Title: The Secret Garden
Presented By: Passion Productions
Genre: Musical Theatre
Synopsis: After the death of her parents in India, 10-year-old Mary Lennox is sent to live with her reclusive uncle, Archibald Craven, at the sombre Misselthwaite Manor. There, she uncovers a locked, neglected garden tied to the memory of her late aunt, Lily. With the help of some of the manor’s residents, Mary brings the garden back to life. As the garden blossoms, so do the spirits of the Craven family, healing old traumas and re-acquainting the household with love and hope. Featuring a hauntingly beautiful score and a story filled with resilience and renewal, The Secret Garden is an enchanting tale of how even the most broken hearts can grow and flourish again.
