The Secret Garden

This afternoon we had tickets for The Secret Garden. Marina wore a flowery dress for the occasion. She wasn’t familiar with the story, but she was pleased to see lots of other young girls at the theater.

We arrived a bit early, so we got drinks and a snack before finding our seats. Ours were off to the side but we had great view of the stage. When the show started, Marina paid close attention to it. The story wasn’t as straightforward as she is used to, so I whispered to her through the performance to help her follow what was going on. Of course, Marina loved that a girl was the center of the story.

At intermission, I talked to Marina more about the story to make sure she could follow Act 2. She listened as she ate her brownie. She was excited to see the rest of the show. She seemed to enjoy the rest of the show. Once it was over she told me how much she liked it. We took a few pictures before heading home.
