Mary Moody Northen Theatre Opens THE SECRET GARDEN, 6/13

Mary Moody Northen Theatre, the award-winning producing arm of the St. Edward's University professional theatre training program, concludes its 40th anniversary season with The Secret Garden, music by Lucy Simon, book and lyrics by Marsha Norman, based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett and directed by Broadway veteran RoBert Westenberg, running June 13 - 30, 2013.

This coming of age story based on the classic children's novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett is filled with suspense, magic and wonder. 11-year-old Mary, orphaned by a cholera outbreak, is sent from India to Scotland to live with her reclusive widower uncle. Lost in their grief and surrounded by visions and voices from the past, Mary and the rest of the family struggle to regain their footing. The young girl's discovery of a secret garden, coupled with her dedication to revive the magical space, leads to rebirth and renewal for all. This Tony-award winning musical will set your heartstrings aflutter. Featuring Equity guests Greg Holt, Cara Johnson, Ev Lunning Jr. and David Long.

A must-see for any of us that have retained the sense of magic and wonder from childhood. - TalkingBroadway
