THE SECRET GARDEN

May 22 - June 19, 2021

by Thomas Olsen

directed by Kathryn Noser

​

A dark spell of sorrow and mystery hovers in the air as the young orphan, Mary Lennox, arrives at Misselthwaite Manor, the Yorkshire estate of her uncle Archibald Craven. The desolation of the surrounding moors, the puzzling reticence of the servants, and the grim demeanor of her uncle provide a less than warm welcome for the spoiled, friendless child. Left to her own devices, Mary takes to exploring the grounds and comes upon a walled garden, locked for over ten years. Once discovering how to enter, Mary decides that this place will be her secret refuge and she begins to tend the garden alone. Inside the manor, another secret lurks and this mystery is so deep that is will take all of Mary’s determination and courage to solve it.
