The Secret Garden
Music by Lucy Simon
Book and Lyrics by Marsha Norman
Based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Directed by Dr. David Sollish
This enchanting classic of children’s literature is reimagined
in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and
Marsha Norman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of
Night Mother. Orphaned in India, 11-year-old Mary Lennox
returns to Yorkshire to live with her embittered, reclusive
uncle Archibald and his disabled son Colin. The estate’s
many wonders include a magic garden which beckons
children with haunting melodies and the “Dreamers,”
spirits from Mary’s past who guide her through her new
life, dramatizing The Secret Garden’s compelling tale of
forgiveness and renewal.
