The Orchid Show: on Broadway March 25, 2011

This is the Botanical Garden's ninth annual presentation of the nation's largest and only curated orchid exhibition. This year's Orchid Show features a dazzling display created by Tony award-winning set designer Scott Pask, image-maker Drew Hodges, and Botanical Garden curators. The Orchid Show: On Broadway features iconic architectural elements from legendary theaters of the Great White Way dramatically interpreted with thousands of orchids in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Just a short stroll across the Garden's grounds in the Library building, a complementary exhibition, Hirschfeld's Broadway Scrapbook, spotlights works by the American caricaturist whose whimsical drawings so captured audiences that a Broadway theater was named in his honor. On weekends, Broadway Cabaret performances highlight popular music from Broadway stages. Weekend visitors to The Orchid Show can also avail themselves of the many Home Gardening Demonstrations and Q&A sessions.
