Students will learn techniques for endeavoring their acting careers as well as have tons of fun with kids that share their same passion.

To her surprise, Mary discovers a strange walled garden that has been locked up for years. With the assistance of Dickon, the gardener’s apprentice, Mary brings the garden back to life.
