The Secret Garden, written by Sylvia Ashby, Frances Hodgson Burnett was adapted from Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic novel. A non-musical production, the story, set in the early years of the 20th century, is as familiar as you remember. Mary Lennox, a sullen and spoiled young orphan, is sent to live with her brooding uncle at gloomy Misselthwaite Manor. Discovering a hidden, neglected garden, Mary plants the seeds of new life for all those drawn into her secret refuge. The Secret Garden is wonderful story of transformation for all ages
