Embrace the Rebirth of Spring with Near West Theatre
There’s something so tempting about secrets. In their upcoming production of The Secret Garden, a Broadway musical based on Frances Hodgson Burnett’s children’s novel, Near West Theatre gives each audience member a chance to feel the breathless anticipation that comes with learning a secret. They have converted their theatre in St. Patrick’s Club building into the most enchanting of gardens, with the audience surrounding the performance, being immersed in the garden. The lights, interactive video and extremely talented local actors make this production a must-see.CoolCleveland correspondent Julie Cajigas had a chance to speak with director Robert Navis Jr., and actor Kevin Joseph Kelly on the set of The Secret Garden. And, when you watch the video, you’ll have a chance to see young actors Sydney Fieseler and Patrick Kennedy steal the stage and veteran Cleveland actors Kevin Joseph Kelly and Patrick Ciamacco make theatre magic with a short preview of the show.

Have tried over the last week or so to watch but it keeps stopping mid-stream. Is it possible to see this in another format?
Thank you,
