Praise for WWST’s 2023 production of
The Secret GardenIt was phenomenally good. The casting was superb and the performances were very highly polished.
Direction was great with nicely detailed stage blocking and personal business. This production could easily be transported to Broadway, exactly as it is, and it would have fit in perfectly.
— Rick Scott
As close to a perfect production as I have ever seen.
— Helen Hansens

A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC
Coming soon to schools across the greater Walla Walla Valley region.
Do-Nothing Dale, a little picked-upon wizard, wants to know what her little bit of magic is. On her journey to find out, she meets people like the laughing Coco the Clown and the singing Marilyn Melody, and she finds that she’s just as special as everyone else in the world. Bright musical numbers add sparkle to the story.
