The Secret Garden

When 11-year-old Mary Lennox is orphaned in India, she’s sent back to England to live with her withdrawn, hurting uncle and his disabled, bitter son. In her misery, she discovers a secret garden hidden in the estate’s extensive grounds that also holds the secrets to friendship, healing and love. Based on Frances Hodgson Burnett’s early 20th century novel that’s enchanted many a modern childhood, the musical adaptation of The Secret Garden is now playing on North Idaho College’s campus thanks to Coeur d’Alene Summer Theater. The promise of the show’s refrain will almost certainly be fulfilled: “Come to my garden, rest there in my arms. There I’ll see you safely grown and on your way.”
