The Secret Garden
Produced by special arrangement with Missoula Children’s Theatre
Conceived and Written by Michael McGill
Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill
The Secret Garden, an original Missoula Children’s Theatre rendition,
is a joyful retelling of a story of hope and celebration and all good
things in life. Mistress Mary Quite Contrary embarks on a journey from
India to her uncle’s home in England. Along the way she makes friends
with the hilarious Canadian Geese and the colorful Giant Bugs that Rock!
In time she learns to appreciate everything around her, including the
Moor Animals and the helpful Fireflies. Add to that a good healthy dose
of caring, and what happens? Colin, Martha, Archibald–well the whole
household–begin to enjoy the return of health and happiness in a
garden carefully tended … until it blossoms once more. Sponsored by
SCFD, NAHF, and the City of Northglenn.

Northglenn Youth Theatre presents
A Midsummer Night’s Midterm
Produced by special arrangement with Pioneer Drama Services
Adapted by Robert W. LaVohn
As four high school friends gather to cram for a midterm on
Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the play comes to life
before their eyes... literally! The story unfolds before the teens, as
Lysander and Demetrius compete for Hermia’s attention and Helena
attempts to capture Demetrius’s attention. When the faeries and
Bottom and his players show up, the students work even harder to
understand this delightfully convoluted story. All the plot, all the
wit and all the magic of one of the Bard’s most popular plays is
presented here along with light-hearted commentary! Finally, a
Shakespeare play that everyone can understand and enjoy! Sponsored by
SCFD, NAHF, and the City of Northglenn.

Dick, featuring their headmistress in the coveted role of Captain Ahab.
