Manchester Musical Players

Last year’s production of SEUSICAL was an entertaining delight. So as we begin our 63rd year; we are proud to present the Broadway musical, THE SECRET GARDEN . The story is set in the early years of the 20th century. Mary Lennox, a young English girl born and raised in the British Raj, is orphaned by a cholera outbreak when she is eleven years old. She is sent away from India to Yorkshire, England, to live with relatives whom she has never met. Her own personality blossoms as she and a young gardener bring new life to a neglected garden, as well as, to her sickly cousin and uncle. The music in this show is haunting and beautiful.

THE SECRET GARDEN will be performed at historic Cheney Hall, 177 Hartford Road, in Manchester. Performance dates are April 9, 10, 16, 17 at 8:00 p.m. and April 11 and 18 at 2:00 p.m. Our production is directed by Jane Cerosky, with music direction by Kim Aliczi.
