THE SECRET GARDEN IN CONCERT, Starring Sarah Caraher, Coming to Trinity-St. Paul Centre

Podium Concert Productions (Peter da Costa and Mark Camilleri) presents the Tony Award-winning musical THE SECRET GARDEN In Concert for three performances only at the newly renovated and acoustically enhanced Trinity-St. Paul Centre/Jeanne lamon Hal. With a world-class orchestra, hand-picked and led by Mark Camilleri, on stage with Canada's brightest stars of stage and musical theatre, THE SECRET GARDEN In Concert runs for three performances only, January 13-15, 2017.

THE SECRET GARDEN is Grammy-winning composer Lucy Simon's and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Marsha Norman's ('Night Mother) reimagining of Frances Hodgson Burnett's classic children's novel into an enchanting musical tale of forgiveness and renewal. Orphaned in India, 11 year-old Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire to live with her embittered, reclusive uncle Archibald and his sickly son Colin. "Dreamers" - spirits from Mary's past - guide her through her new life as she discovers the estate's many wonders, including a magical garden that beckons the children with haunting melodies.

The cast and creative team includes Director Steve Ross (Sunday in the Park with George/Talk is Free Theatre) and Musical Director/Conductor Mark Camilleri; stars Sarah Caraher (The Little Prince/Theatre Calgary) as Mary Lennox; Lucas Kalechstein (voice actor for animated television series Doki) as Colin Craven, Adam Brazier (Artistic Director Confederation Centre for the Arts, The Woman in White/Broadway) as Archibald Craven, and soprano Erin Fisher (ViVA Trio, Cosi fan tutte & Idomeneo/COC,) as Lily Craven; with Louise Camilleri, Gabi Epstein, Kevin Forestell, Kyle Golemba, Matthew Nethersole, Denise Oucharek, Steve Ross, Kate Suhr and Shawn Wright.

Rarely produced due the size and scope of the production, THE SECRET GARDEN is the perfect show to launch Podium Concert Productions, dedicated to creating exciting and exhilarating performances that combine musical theatre with the symphony experience.
