The Secret Garden is a joyous story about the growth and blossoming of the earth and the human spirit. With lovable characters, and a beautiful musical score throughout, it’s sure to be a garden of delight for the ears and the imagination. Mary and Colin, whose natures have been badly warped, thrive with the discovery that selflessness opens a secret door to happiness, as a father reunites with his son and a young orphaned girl finds belonging and experiences a magical transformation.
