THEATRE GUIDE THEATRE GUIDE
THE SECRET GARDEN
The enchanting literary classic is reimagined in brilliant musical style. A compelling tale of forgiveness and renewal, The Secret Garden won three Tony Awards and three Drama Desk Awards when it premiered on Broadway in 1991. Orphaned in India, 11-year-old Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire to live with her embittered, reclusive uncle Archibald and his disabled son Colin. The estate’s many wonders include a magic garden which beckons the children with haunting melodies and spirits from Mary’s past who guide her through her new life. Note: Very young children may be frightened by elements of the musical, or have difficulty following its plot. Two of the main characters—a recentlyorphaned young girl and her widowed uncle—are struggling to deal with the intense grief that comes from the loss of loved ones. The characters who have died appear as ghosts but not in a menacing way. While dark at times, the musical’s overall message is a positive one, that nature and friendship can help assuage grief.
THE COLOR PURPLE
With a fresh, Grammy-winning score of jazz, gospel, ragtime and blues, The Color Purple is an unforgettable, intensely moving musical based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and the Oscar-nominated film. The New York Times calls it “exquisite! A joyous celebration of storytelling.” This stirring family chronicle—a young woman’s epic journey through joy, despair, anguish and hope to discover the power of love—leaves its mark on the soul. Note: Based on the 1982 Alice Walker novel, The Color Purple tells the story of fourteen-year-old Celie and her life growing up as an African American woman in rural Georgia in the 1930s. Abused by her father, a victim of incest, married off without her consent to a physically and emotionally abusive husband, and separated from her sister and children, Celie perseveres through it all to discover her inner strength and true value.
NUNSENSE
Thru August 14 Mills Station Arts & Cultural Center 10191 Mills Station Rd, Rancho Cordova Rise Up Theatre Company
Nunsense is a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia Child of God. Thus, the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, streetwise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert – stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed. With catchy songs and irreverent comedy, Nunsense is sure to keep audiences rolling with laughter. This is a musical comedy in two acts with a 15 minute intermission. Concessions available for purchase prior to the show and during intermission.
