PORT HADLOCK — Literature will combine with theater at 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3 when Jefferson County Library brings Seattle-based Book-It Repertory Theatre to Port Hadlock to perform.
The group will perform “The Secret Garden.” To familiarize guests with the story, the library will show the movie “The Secret Garden” at 3:45 p.m. today.
The free program is appropriate for ages 6 and up. Seating is limited to 80, so visitors should arrive early, organizers said.
Book-It Repertory Theatre, 2012 Governor’s Arts Award-winner, was founded 24 years ago.
It adapts short stories and performs them throughout the Northwest.
Book-It’s form of theater preserves the narrative text as it is spoken, not by a single narrator but as dialogue by the characters.
This production will be performed in both English and Spanish.
The Secret Garden, considered a classic of English children’s literature, was written in 1911.
Copies of the book are available for check-out prior to the performance.
