This play was described by the New York Times as, "a triumph, hilarious, cliché-free, and immensely entertaining. Stephen Karam's dark comedy seems to be about a frumpy girl, a nerdy guy and an openly gay guy who band together to disclose the truth about a teacher who preys on his male students. But that topical plot is almost window dressing. The play's real accomplishment is its picture of the borderland between late adolescence and adulthood, where grown-up ideas and ambition coexist with childish will and bravado."

“The Secret Garden” tells the story of young Mary Lennox who is orphaned by an earthquake in India and sent to England to live with her uncle in a cold ancestral manor in Yorkshire. Mary, a resourceful and inquisitive girl, soon makes two exciting discoveries: she finds an overgrown secret garden, and her cousin, Colin. Mary and another new friend, Dickon, bring the garden back to life and decide Colin must see it... a decision that will change several lives.
“The Yellow Boat” is a glorious affirmation of a child's life and the strength and courage of all children. Benjamin is a uniquely gifted visual artist, whose buoyant imagination transforms his physical and emotional pain into a blaze of colors and shapes in his fanciful drawings and paintings. Benjamin's remarkable voyage continues to touch audiences around the world.
