Grosse Pointe Theatre: The Secret Garden the Musical

This enchanting classic of children’s literature is reimagined in brilliant musical style by composer Lucy Simon and Marsha Norman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of ‘Night Mother’. 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 the
“Dreamers,” spirits from Mary’s past who guide her through her new life, dramatizing The Secret Garden’s compelling tale of forgiveness and renewal.

Grosse Pointe Theatre: Groundhog Day the Musical

How would you spend your time if forced to repeat the same day over and over again?
Phil Connors, a seasoned big-city weatherman, is frustrated to be reporting the annual
Groundhog Day Ceremony in small town Punxsutawney, PA. His arrogance and cynicism are
in direct opposition to the cheery townsfolk, who are ready for their favorite Groundhog to
not see his shadow and welcome an early spring. After disdainfully covering the rodent’s
negative forecast, he awakens the next day only to discover it’s February 2 once more.
Initially in disbelief, Phil finally accepts he is doomed to repeat the same day over and over
again….
Will Phil accept that he is doomed to repeat the same day over and over again? Or will he
find the courage to change himself and his fate.

Grosse Pointe Theatre: The Lion in Winter

Sibling rivalry, adultery, and dungeons – The Lion in Winter, by James Goldman, is a
modern-day classic. Comedic in tone, dramatic in action – the play tells the story of the
Plantagenet family, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a
kingdom. The queen, and wealthiest woman in the world, Eleanor of Aquitaine, has been
kept in prison since raising an army against her husband, King Henry II. Let out only for
holidays, the play centers around the inner conflicts of the royal family as they fight over
both a kingdom and King Henry’s paramour during the Christmas of 1183. As Eleanor says,
“Every family has its ups and downs,” and this royal family is no exception.
