The Garden Poem is an original play with music, directed and starring Derek Berlin. The play follows the journey of legendary recording artist Johnny London, who must try to reconcile fate and faith after the loss of his wife, Beverly, to a car accident and his child’s inevitable passing from leukemia. He finds solace in the words of a poem that he’s read to his daughter Jenny since birth which describes a special garden of perfection, peace and eternal happiness. The dramatization of his struggles, the comfort and reassurance he receives from his dying daughter, coupled with a reality check he receives from his longtime family friend Audra opens his eyes to a pathway of acceptance and trust in faith.
