The Secret Garden – an Aerial Theatre Show
February 6 @ 7:00 pm - February 8 @ 9:00 pm
Join us as we present our newest studio-wide aerial theatrical production, “The Secret Garden” based on the 1911 novel by Frances Hodgeson Burnett. We will be taking this story airborne, using aerial arts, high flying acrobatics, contortion, and dance. Sora’s Aerial Theater productions have become an amazing and fun tradition for everyone in the studio and for the community.
The story of The Secret Garden begins when Miss Mary, quite contrary, arrives at Misselthwaite Manor in England all the way from India having lost her parents, leaving her rich, extravagant life behind. Sour-faced little Mary finds herself deposited in a gloomy manor full of secrets and moorland fog.
With no one to boss around and an alarming shortage of servants to obey her every whim, Mary does what any reasonable child would do: she sulks magnificently. During her time sulking, Mary stumbles upon a locked garden—overgrown, forgotten, and possibly enchanted. With the help of Dickon, a boy in tune with charming the animals at the moor, Mary’s mysteriously bedridden cousin Colin, a robin with attitude, and a key to unlock it all, the garden begins to coax the hearts around it back to life.
In this tale, flowers bloom in time with friendships, birds dance through sapphire skies, and tantrums are replaced by companionship. The Secret Garden is a charming and whimsical voyage through healing, hope, and the power of nature—with a big dash of magic. 
Come watch our professionals and students of all ages hit the stage this spring to present this coming of age story that all audiences of all generations will enjoy. Experience jaw dropping feats and heart pounding beauty as you watch our performers fly through the air, displaying astounding acts of strength, flexibility and magical illusions.
