A wondrous tale of a young girl’s search for home, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved classic, The Secret Garden, blossoms in this enchanting Tony Award-winning musical by Pulitzer Prize-winner Marsha Norman and Lucy Simon. When young Mary Lennox loses her parents to a cholera outbreak in India, she is sent to live with her uncle, hermit Archibald Craven, who lives in an imposing, secluded manor on the Yorkshire moors. When Mary discovers her Aunt Lily’s hidden garden, locked shut and overgrown with vines, the stubborn girl is determined to revive the beauty that once was. Surrounded by spirits from the past, who both warn and welcome her, determined Mary begins to peel away the layers of sadness that cover the house and the garden, showing everyone the power that “one small girl” can have when she “wants things to grow”!

The Secret Garden will be directed and choreographed by Dedra Daniels Mount with musical direction by Michael Simmons, the creative team that brought Annie Warbucks to Vista Theatre Project audiences in Summer 2023, The Sound of Music in Summer 2022 and Cats in Summer 2019.
