🌿 A new Secret Garden, reimagined.
On Saturday, October 24 at 6pm, experience the world premiere staged reading of "Quite Contrary (a Secret Garden)" a nostalgic and unexpectedly funny new work by Long Island playwright Aly Kantor, inspired by Frances Hodgson Burnett’s "The Secret Garden."
Set in Long Island, 1952, the story follows Mary Lennox, a young woman sent to a shuttered tuberculosis sanatorium for a “rest cure.” But the overgrown grounds and abandoned facility hold secrets—and Mary soon finds herself questioning the doctor’s orders and fighting to reclaim the future she deserves.
Presented in the Red Ballroom of Westbury House, the immersive performance features full costumes, audio, six local performers—and one bird. 🐦
Stay afterward for a panel discussion with the playwright, director, and cast, plus light refreshments.
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind theatrical experience celebrating Frances Hodgson Burnett and her Long Island roots.
🎟️ Tickets are just $10! Use link in bio!
("This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by The Huntington Arts Council.")
A little time to slow down, stitch by stitch. 🪡

Two views of Westbury, captured in the pages of Old Westbury Gardens: Days of Grace on Long Island, out today from @triglyphbooks.
From the sweeping approach to Westbury House, deliberately concealed to heighten the drama, to the South Allée in April, where linden trees leaf out and dogwood blooms above the formal hemlock hedges, these photographs offer a glimpse of the beauty and design that have defined the estate for generations.
The book is officially released today! And if you’re joining us tonight for the special conversation moderated by Thammanoune Kannalikham of @kannalikham_designs, you can purchase your copy at the event and have it signed by author Clive Aslet @cliveaslet and photographer Dylan Thomas @dylan_location.
Haven’t purchased your ticket yet? Don’t delay! Join us tonight for this special evening and use the link in our bio to get your tickets now.
