The Secret Garden
Ten-year-old Mary Lennox is a spoiled rich girl living in colonial India with her aloof parents who frequent elegant parties and leave her with servants who attend to her every whim. When her parents are killed, however, Mary's life changes drastically. She's shipped off to England to live in the enormous manor of her father's friend, Lord Craven and his invalid son, Colin. Lord Craven, a miserable recluse since his wife's death, ignores his son and leaves the household management to Mrs. Medlock, an ironhanded authoritarian. In this cold environment, the children, with help from spirited maid Martha Sowerby and her younger brother, Dickon, manage to find happiness in a special garden hidden away for years.

All children MUST be accompanied by an adult. There will be a 3 child limit per adult. This show is FREE for everyone!
