The literary classic you’ve loved for years is also an easy-to-produce one-hour play.  Mary Lennox, known as a difficult child, is sent to live at her uncle’s estate in England after her parents pass away.  Misselthwaite Manor turns out to be a gloomy fortress.  Her uncle is rarely home, and his young son, Colin, never leaves his room, convinced he’s an incurable invalid.  To her surprise, Mary discovers a strange walled garden that has been locked up for years.  With the assistance of Dickon, the gardener’s apprentice, Mary brings the garden back to life and discovers Dickon’s amazing ability to communicate with animals.  The garden seems to have a wonderful, magical effect on all who come into it, allowing Mary to help restore Colin to health and to reunite him with his father.  This version also introduces the endearing Sowerby family, who add much laughter and love to this touching story.  Take time to smell the roses — production is simple with an open stage and minimal set requirements.

Great adaptation.  Accessible for students.  Well received.


Easy dialogue for kids to learn; progressed smoothly.


...  great!  Lots of parts to cast with a decent amount of lines (30 or so) and even room for ‘extras’ for those students that are just starting in theatre and don’t want a speaking part! Felicia Ellis, Licking Junior/Senior High School, Licking, MO


The Secret Garden has been a fantastic choice for our K-12 play.  There are a multitude of roles with a variety of depth, so there is truly something for everyone in our large cast. Marsha Walner, Annie Wright Schools, Tacoma, WA
