Step into a world of wonder, mystery, and renewal.
Cinnabar Theater presents The Secret Garden The Musical, the beloved story brought to life with a soaring score and breathtaking storytelling.
Orphaned and sent to live with her reclusive uncle in a grand English manor, young Mary Lennox discovers a hidden, neglected garden. As she nurtures it back to life, she awakens something magical—not only in the world around her, but in the hearts of those who have long been closed off to hope.
This enchanting adaptation by Marsha Norman and Lucy Simon, based on the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, is a moving tale of healing, transformation, and the power of nature.
