Southwest Shakespeare Company Presents: The Secret Garden

Southwest Shakespeare Company Presents: The Secret Garden

April 4, 2025 – April 13, 2025

Adapted and directed by James Couger Canfield
from the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Part of the 2024-2025 JOURNEYS OF DISCOVERY Season

Can the power of nature unlock the secrets of the human heart? Mary Lennox is a spoiled brat. She’s loud, and too smart for her own good. In this new adaptation from the adapter and star of our sold-out hit LADIES IN WAITING: THE JUDGMENT OF HENRY VIII from a few seasons back, this wonderfully creative new adaptation THE SECRET GARDEN tells the story of young Mary Lennox as she is sent to live in her estranged uncle’s spooky house where she discovers a hidden, magical garden. This transformative journey brings Mary from sorrow to joy, teaching her—and the audience—about the healing power of nature and the process of self-discovery inherent in helping others.
