"One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts—just mere thoughts—are as powerful as electric batteries—as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison."

The Secret Garden
APRIL 4-13, 2025 | TALIESIN WEST MUSIC PAVILION
Adapted and directed by James Cougar Canfield
from the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Can the power of nature unlock the secrets of the human heart?
Orphaned and demanding, Mary is sent to live in her estranged uncle’s mysterious house where she discovers a hidden, magical garden. Mary's transformative journey brings her from sorrow to joy, teaching her—and the audience—about the healing power of nature and the process of self-discovery inherent in helping others. This wonderfully creative new adaptation of THE SECRET GARDEN is created and directed by James Cougar Canfield, the adapter and star of our sold-out hit LADIES IN WAITING: THE JUDGMENT OF HENRY VIII.
