FROM THE DESK OF DAVID ARMSTRONG EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

COME TO OUR GARDEN

rom the day it was first published in serial form in The American Magazine in 1910, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic novel The Secret Garden Fhas enchanted and captivated both adults and children alike. Over the 107 years that have followed, countless editions of the novel have been published and at least a dozen major film and television adaptations have been produced, including a 2015 multimedia web series and a 39-episode Japanese anime version! The novel has also frequently been adapted for the stage, most successfully in this 1991 Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical by Marsha Norman and Lucy Simon. We outgrow most of the stories we loved as children, but a few special tales are able to hold our interest for a lifetime. Even after repeated readings and exposure to multiple versions in various media, these stories never lose their impact. We connect with these plots and characters so Ultimately, in order to heal and grow, Mary and deeply that we are able to become engrossed in the action Archibald must see themselves in the mirror of each every time, even though we know exactly how it’s going to other’s face. They must learn to care for the garden, as turn out. For me, that is the true definition of a “classic”: a well as each other. Eventually the healing power of nature great story that is open to endless retelling and an infinite will work its spell on them. Like the secret garden itself, number of reinterpretations. they are “wick.” Just below the surface, life is waiting to be The Secret Garden is that kind of story. On the surface, it reborn.

Remarkably, she was able to combine Gothic mystery, realistic psychological drama, and magic realism into a cohesive and captivating whole. In this version, Marsha Norman and Lucy Simon have done an exceptional job of weaving the dramatic and thematic threads of the novel into a complex and striking musical.

That evening she sat FBurnett, was only one of the 53 novels she wrote and down and wrote a second one for him.

By 1886, Frances had married a Tennessee doctor, had two sons and had written the blockbuster novel Little Frances Hodgson Burnett’s love affair with gardens began Lord Fauntleroy—her 18th novel, which made her hugely when she was a small child living in Manchester, England. famous on both sides of the Atlantic.

The opportunity was unexpected but welcome—though Norman had never written a musical before, she often daydreamed about it, imagining those around her breaking into song. But her Photo by Susan Johann by Photo success to that point was as a writer of dramas, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning ’night, Mother and other plays that dealt with intensely dark issues such as suicide or prison. Now Ettinger and Norman had to figure out how to put a 10-year-old girl at the center of a multi-million-dollar musical.

As the process unfolded, later incorporating composer Lucy Simon, they determined that the success of the musical would be found in the strength of young Mary. She remembers, “We were thinking: let’s cause the musical theater world to turn around for a moment and look at this girl as a valid and powerful hero.”

To focus on Mary, Norman had to make changes to the original story’s plot and structure. In Burnett’s book, Mary recedes from the center of the story as Colin gains focus. She knew as an adaptor she needed to be careful not to alienate a generation of readers who had grown up with the novel. “I quickly discovered it was one of the most beloved books of all time. I even discovered there was a Secret Garden secret oath. I would mention that I was working on it, and people would immediately put their hands over their hearts and say, ‘Ohhh. That was my favorite book from my childhood’—in those same exact hushed words.” MARSHA NORMAN: Adaptors have to remember the readers and, if living, the author—something she had to consider with her adaption CULTIVATOR OF A THEATRICAL GARDEN of The Color Purple, which recently enjoyed a revival on Broadway.

YOUR NON-PROFIT MUSICAL THEATER COMPANY The musical Free Boy features a talented cast of six actors and one music director. Read what some of our actors have to say about performing for young audiences for the first time:

RILEY BRACK “Nothing could have prepared us for the electrifying energy of our first school audience. The students’ excitement was tangible and contagious from their receptive gazes and agape mouths. Sharing this empowering story with the next generation all while traveling, collaborating and connecting with such talented artists suspends one in a perpetual state of gratitude.”

AVIONA RODRIGUEZ BROWN “This is my first experience touring for children, and I must say it has been an absolute pleasure. The kids’ faces light up when we come out on stage. It’s so exciting. After our show some of the children come up to us and express their future dreams and ask advice. It’s wonderful to be able to put their fears and doubts at bay just by showing them what we can do–what we can choose to be.”

CHERISSE MARTINELLI “Even for the many kids who are experiencing musical theater for the very first time, they just GET IT. They are completely ready to share in the story we are telling and audibly overjoyed to be a part of the whole experience. Being able to share this piece of Washington State history, to represent The 5th Avenue Theatre, and to give the gift of theater to elementary students through AMT has been a blessing!”
