Secret Garden</i> is truly an original. Done in the round, the first
time for Near West Theatre in 13 years, the production surrounds the
audience with an ethereal experience that heightens the already transcendent
nature of the piece. The dynamic cast of 30 brings to life some of
the most beautiful music ever written for Broadway and <b>Kevin Joseph
Kelly</b>, in the role of Dr. Neville Craven, and <b>Patrick Ciamacco</b>
as Archibald Craven sing “Lily’s Eyes” with show
stopping power. Audiences may even want to see this production more
than once as the roles of Mary & Colin are double cast with 4
incredibly talented children (<b>Sydney Fieseler, Christian Flaherty,
Patrick Kennedy & Annie Kostell</b>) that each bring their own strength
and energy to the production. Don’t miss out, purchase your
