Audiences Invited To Discover “The Secret Garden” By Dayna M. Reidenouer

Producing “The Secret Garden” at Lampeter-Strasburg High School has been all about timing. In addition to ensuring lines are delivered at the right time and set changes occur when scheduled, director Kevin Ditzler and music director Erik Welchans also had to deliberately plan when to perform the show. “This has been on our list for several years,” Ditzler said. “We have had a fondness for this show, but we waited for a particular combination of voices.” Ditzler noted that the cast includes fewer male characters, but the men who appear do have some delightful musical numbers. He remarked that a duet between brothers Archibald Craven (Logan Emmert) and Dr. Craven (Braeden Weaver) is especially impactful. The other leads in the show include Crosby Renninger as Mary

Lennox, Jack Harnish as Colin Craven, Rowen Krantz as Dickon, and Jessica Heisey as Lily Craven. “We have some great people to fill these roles,” Ditzler said. The musical version of “The Secret Garden” premiered on Broadway in 1991 and appeaeed on Broadway for more than a year. The book and lyrics are by Marsha Norman, with music by Lucy Simon. It is based on the novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. In the story, after 10-year-old Mary Lennox is orphaned in India during a cholera epidemic at the turn of the 20th century, she is sent to Misselthwaite Manor in a remote part of England. There, she discovers a cousin she never knew existed and a secret garden. Mary is befriended by a local boy, Dickon, and, in turn, befriends her cousin, Colin. The cousins have both experienced the loss of one or both parents, and they connect with their deceased parents through ghostly appearances. See “The Secret Garden” pg 11

The railroad theme has been carried through the 25 years that the preschool has operated. When the school opened, it offered classes for children ages 3, 4, and 5. A Toddler Junction program was hosted on Fridays before it was replaced by a class for 2-year-olds.
