The St. Andrew’s Players Present “The Secret Garden”
Adapted from the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett by Erin Detrick
A time-honored classic, “The Secret Garden” is the story of two indulged and neglected 10-year-olds. They are miserable souls from different worlds who are lonely, self-pitying, and demanding. Eventually, the children discover each other and the value of friendship, compassion, and hard work from the humble folk with whom they share their “secret.” Yet, it is the garden itself — positively growing and changing thanks to the care they provide — that allows them to “blossom” as well.
“The Secret Garden” is produced by special arrangement with Stage Partners (yourstagepartners.com).
