CHS Theatre Arts musical 'The Secret Garden' featured Thursday through Sunday
CARSON CITY — Carson High School Theatre Arts is proud to announce our upcoming production of "The Secret Garden," a hauntingly beautiful adaptation of the classic children’s novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, this Thursday through Sunday April 5-8 at the Carson City Community Center.
Winner of the 1991 Tony Award for Best Musical and slated for a Broadway Revival in 2019, The Secret Garden is reimagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and Marsha Norman, the Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright of ‘Night Mother.
Orphaned in India in 1911, 11 year-old Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire, England to live with her embittered, reclusive uncle Archibald and his invalid son, Colin. The estate’s many wonders include a magic garden which beckons the children with haunting melodies and spirits from Mary’s past who guide her through her new life, dramatizing The Secret Garden’s compelling tale of forgiveness and renewal.
Featuring direction and choreography by Andie Wilkerson (formerly Andie Anderson), musical direction by Andy Sonnemaker, and orchestral direction by Dr. Brian Fox, The Secret Garden showcases the talents of over 40 of Carson High School’s finest talents working onstage, backstage, and in the pit.
Leading the cast are Quentin Powers (sophomore) as Archibald Craven, Charlie Moser (senior) as Dr. Neville Craven, and Emma Tuttle (freshman) as Lily. This very special production also features the talents of six wonderful middle-school students including Carson Middle School’s Greta Pugh as Mary and Parker Schmid as Colin.
Performances of The Secret Garden will run Thursday, April 5 and Friday, April 6 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, April 8 at 2 p.m. in the Bob Boldrick Theatre at the Carson City Community Center, 351 E. William Street in Carson City. Tickets are $12 General Admission, $10 Seniors and $5 CHS Students, and will be available at the door. At this time, we only accept cash or check.
