Despite its title, The Secret Garden isn’t any more difficult to find than the other productions at Shanley Pavilion.
The last of WAVE Productions' five mainstage shows for their 2015-2016 season, the musical centers around Mary Lennox (played by School of Communications junior Tessa Dettman), a young girl who loses her parents to cholera during the early 1900s. After being relocated to England, she discovers a garden … a secret garden …
The show features a small cast (only 11 actors) and a minimal set design, and will have five performances this weekend at Shanley: Thursday at 8 p.m., Friday at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.
NBN discovered this secret garden and took pictures of a dress rehearsal, so that you may know the secrets of The Secret Garden. Shhhhhhhh!
