THE SECRET GARDEN to Run 11/13-27 at Roxy Regional Theatre

The haunting moors of England will come to life at the Roxy Regional Theatre in the enchanting musical THE SECRET GARDEN, playing November 13 through November 27.

Based on the enduring family classic penned over a century ago by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this Tony Award-winning musical, with book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Marsha Norman and music by Lucy Simon, soars to new heights under the direction of Tom Thayer.

Virginia Richardson stars as eleven-year-old orphan Mary Lennox, who comes to live with her mysterious Uncle Archibald and her sickly cousin Colin. With the help of her charming new friend, Dickon, Mary rejuvenates the house, its inhabitants and its neglected secret garden in this heartwarming tale of forgiveness and renewal.

Featuring Ryan Bowie as Archibald Craven, Tanner Sigears as Colin, and James Hansen as Dickon, the cast also includes Kelley Barker, Leslie Greene, Sean Michael Jaenicke, John McDonald, Lindsay Nantz, Val Roche, Matthew Smolko and Jonathan Whitney, with Tom Thayer on piano.

A special Thanksgiving performance on Thursday, November 26, at 7:00pm will include complimentary pie and coffee with the cast.
