From the Novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Adapted by Tim Kelly The literary classic beloved for years comes to the SCA stage this spring. Mary Lennox, known as a difficult child, is sent to live at her uncle’s estate in England-Misselthwaite Manor which turns out to be a gloomy fortress. Her uncle is rarely home, and his young son, Colin, never leaves his room, convinced he’s an incurable invalid. To her surprise, Mary discovers a strange walled garden that has been locked up for years. With the assistance of Dickon, the gardener’s apprentice, Mary brings the garden back to life with wonderful, magical effects on all who come into it. The garden helps Mary to restore Colin to health and to reunite him with his father once and for all. **Students MUST LIST ALL conflicts with regular rehearsals on audition form.
