Playhouse 38 - Cultural Arts
Youth Productions
Don’t
Miss!
Directed by: Meredith Vandre
The literary classic you’ve loved for years is brought to the live stage!
Mary Lennox, known as a difficult child, is sent to live at her uncle’s
estate in England after her parents pass away. Misselthwaite Manor
turns out to be a gloomy fortress. Her uncle is rarely home, and his
young son, Colin, never leaves his room, convinced he’s an incurable
invalid. To her surprise, Mary discovers a strange walled garden that has
been locked up for years. With the assistance of Dickon, the gardener’s
apprentice, Mary brings the garden back to life and discovers Dickon’s
amazing ability to communicate with animals. The garden seems to
have a wonderful, magical effect on all who come into it, allowing
Mary to help restore Colin to health and to reunite him with his father. Singin’ in the Rain Jr. has all the makings of a Tinseltown tabloid headline
– the starlet, the leading man and a love affair that could change lives
and make or break careers! In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina
Lamont are a hot item, but behind the scenes, things aren’t always as
they appear on the big screen! Meanwhile, Lina’s squeaky voice might
be the end of her career in “talking pictures” without the help of a
talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her.
