A Secret Garden Sprouts In Madison Friday

MADISON, NJ - Audiences are invited to come and find the hidden entrance to The Secret Garden at Madison Junior School this weekend.

Based on the beloved children’s novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the story follows sour Mary Lennox who is sent to live in England after her parents die in India.

She arrives at Misselthwaite Manor and finds it to be a gloomy fortress with an absent uncle and a sickly cousin. But with the help of local lad Dickon, Mary coaxes a secret, walled garden back to life, bringing with it a magical effect on all who enter it.

The Secret Garden performances are Friday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 2 at 4 p.m. at Madison Junior School, 160 Main Street.

Tickets at the door are $10 per adult, $5 per student/senior citizen or online for $8 per adult or $4 for students or senior citizens.

The Secret Garden is adapted from the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett and is written by Tim Kelly, with music and lyrics by Bill Francoeur. Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Service, Inc., Englewood, Colorado.
