Tracy Notes About This Show

this is a very beautiful story, and lovely costumes. In order to help the audience understand who is live in the story and who is appearing as a ghost, we will put your ghost characters in white, unless you tell us otherwise.

Plot Synopsis

A spoiled, lonely Mary Lennox, who, orphaned by a cholera epidemic in India, is sent to live at Misselthwaite Manor in Yorkshire with her Uncle Archibald. Still in mourning for his wife Lily, who died 10 years earlier in childbirth, and grief stricken for his 10 year old son, Archibald suffuses the manor with gloom and mystery. Mary discovers a secret garden, formerly Lily's, and in revitalizing it she restores life to her sick cousin and her miserable uncle.

And by the way...

The answer to our very most frequently asked question is - NO!!!

The question is: Do you have a minimum order or do we have to rent a whole show?

We believe you should be able to order one hat, two props, an entire show, or anything in between - it's one of your basic theatrical freedoms.

  • All we said was "we have no minimum order" and got this back - "you are a haven of ethics in what can be a bottom-line industry". Thanks!
