SUMMARY:The Secret Garden
DESCRIPTION:Yocum Institute for Arts Education invites audiences of all ages to experience the magic of “The Secret Garden\,” an enchanting musical presented by our theater department as part of the Primary Stages season. Performances run May 8-17 and uniquely feature two distinct casts: a community cast\, bringing together talented adult actors from the local area and a young performers cast comprised of Yocum students\, past and present. This dual-cast approach offers audiences a rare opportunity to experience the production through two different lenses\, showcasing the depth\, versatility\, and vibrant talent across the program. \nBased on the beloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett\, The Secret Garden is reimagined in a sweeping musical style by composer Lucy Simon and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Marsha Norman. The story follows 11-year-old Mary Lennox\, who\, after being orphaned in India\, is sent to live in a mysterious Yorkshire estate with her reclusive uncle\, Archibald\, and his ailing son\, Colin. As Mary discovers a hidden garden\, she embarks on a journey of healing\, hope\, and transformation that brings new life to those around her. \nFilled with powerful storytelling and memorable music\, The Secret Garden is a moving tale of forgiveness\, renewal\, and the enduring power of imagination. The production is recommended for all audiences. \nFriday\, May 8 at 7:00PM \nSaturday\, May 9 at 2:00PM & 7:00PM \nSunday\, May 10 at 2:00PM \nFriday\, May 15 at 7:00PM \nSaturday\, May 16 at 2:00PM & 7:00PM \nSunday\, May 17 at 2:00PM \nTicket Price – $25
