con*ver*gence-continu*um* announces auditions for: The Secret in the Wingsdirected by Anne McEvoySunday, August 17th 6:30 - 9pmMonday, August 18th 7-10pm *PLAY DESCRIPTION:* Mary Zimmerman’s *The Secret in the Wings* adapts a group of lesser-known fairy tales to create a theatrical work that sets their dark mystery against her signature wit and humor. The framing story features a child and the frightening babysitter with whom her parents leave her. As the babysitter reads from a book, the characters in each of the tales materialize, with each tale averting disaster just as it looms to give way to the next one. As in Zimmerman’s other productions, here she also offers opportunity for creative costumes, props, sets, and lighting, creating images and feelings that render the fairy tales in all their elemental and enduring power. Like the very best of the genre, children may enjoy Zimmerman’s fairy tales, but it is adults who will find them the most evocative, fulfilling and visionary. *Available Roles:* - “Opening: Left in the Forest” *MOTHER* *FATHER* *HEIDI* *MR.
