Players on High at the Carlisle Theatre announces their production of the Tony Award® & Drama Desk Award winning show, The Secret Garden: The Musical.

This family favorite has been reimagined in brilliant musical stylings by composer Lucy Simon and Marsha Norman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of 'Night Mother. “The musical follows 11-year-old Mary Lennox who was orphaned in India, returning to Yorkshire to live with her embittered, reclusive uncle Archibald and his disabled son Colin. The estate's many wonders include a magic garden which beckons the children with haunting melodies and the ‘Dreamers,’ spirits from Mary's past who guide her through her new life, dramatizing The Secret Garden's compelling tale of forgiveness and renewal.”

This production falls on the third anniversary for Players on High, the Carlisle Theatre’s live theatre branch. It features over 30 local and regional actors with a guest artist appearance by Matthew A. Robinson (Baritone), starring as Archibald Craven. The Secret Garden: The Musical, directed by Ashley Shade Byerts with music direction by Michelle Dibona Trefren, will focus heavily on exciting projections & unique movement work, along with a brilliant full orchestra guiding us through this beautiful tale.

The musical will play it's final weekend at the historic Carlisle Theatre June 23, 24, & 25 at 7:30pm, and June 26 at 2:00pm. Please follow the theatre on Facebook & Instagram for updates on film events, concerts, trivia nights, live theatre, classes, and more!
