The Secret Garden

June 6th, 2003

The Corona, California-based Gingerland Theatre Company is proud to present The Secret Garden, a musical based on Frances Hodgson Burnett's 1911 novel. The show will open in Corona, California on June 6th, 2003.  The Friday and Sunday shows will be held at the Fender Museum, while Saturday night's show will be held at the Crossroad's Christian Church in a 3,500-seat auditorium.

The musical is about ten-year old Mary Lennox, who is a homely, spoiled rich girl living in colonial India with her very aloof parents. Her parents frequently attend elegant parties while leaving her with servants who tend to her every whim. But when her parents are killed, Mary's life changes drastically. She's shipped off to England to live in the enormous manor home of Lord Archibald Craven, an old friend of her father's, and his invalid son Colin. Lord Craven has become a miserable recluse since his wife's death, ignoring his son and leaving the household management to Mrs. Medlock, an iron-handed, old-school authoritarian. In this cold environment the children -- with a little help from spirited maid Martha Sowerby and her younger brother Dickon -- manage to find happiness in a special garden hidden away for years.  For those interested in auditioning or those wishing to obtain a staff or crew position for the production, please go HERE.
