The GPC Theatre Arts Guild presents the musical, “The Secret Garden,” opening Friday, Feb. 6.

Based on the beloved children’s book by Frances Hodgson Burnett, “The Secret Garden” tells the story of 11-year-old Mary Lennox. Orphaned in India, she returns to Yorkshire, England, to live with her embittered, reclusive Uncle Archibald and his invalid son, Colin, on a huge estate.

The estate’s many wonders include a magical garden which beckons the children with haunting melodies and the “Dreamers”—spirits from Mary’s past who guide her through her new life.

The production features a full orchestra and a cast of students and community members from the greater Atlanta area.

Shows are at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 6, 7, 13  and 14 and at 3 p.m. on Sundays, Feb. 8 and 15 in the Cole Auditorium located in the Fine Arts Building on Georgia Perimeter’s Clarkston Campus.

Tickets are $20 with discounts available for students and faculty and staff with GPC I.D. For information go to http://gpc.tix.com  or call the box office at 678-891-3572.
