Creative Movement Practices To Present SECRET IN THE WINGS A Twisted Collection Of Long Forgotten Fairy Tales

Creative Movement Practices To Present SECRET IN THE WINGS A Twisted Collection Of Long Forgotten Fairy Tales Creative Movement Practices has announced its Summer production of The Secret in the Wings playing at the MATCH in Houston, TX.

When her parents ignore her pleadings, a young girl is left at home to be watched over by an amorous ogre. The monster offers her six fairy tales, each one deadlier than the last, and each a part of a greater mystery.

Will the girl be swept away by the darkness, or live to tell her own tale? (Re)discover long forgotten or seldom-told lore through an enchanting carousel of stories woven by dreams, dry wit, and magic.

The Secret in the Wings is a suspenseful, grimly humorous adaptation by Tony award-winning writer/director Mary Zimmerman. As the second production of their second season, Creative Movement Practices' founder Sarah Sneesby (sarahsneesby.com) chose to bring the whimsical and twisted fairy tale tellings adapted by Mary Zimmerman to life. “I have long admired Mary Zimmerman's collaborative, movement-intensive process to bring a new work to stage.

Producing The Secret in the Wings requires creativity, movement, and collaboration to effectively weave the loom of these rarely-told tales throughout the show. The beauty in this production is that it has so much room for movement exploration, allowing me to facilitate a synergistic environment in which the creative team and actors can create inspiring, transformative pieces which is the very core of the CMP's values.” The Secret in the Wings runs July 7-22nd in Matchbox 1 at the MATCH.

Sarah Sneesby (Director- Including Movement and Choreography), Matthew Lawrence (Assistant Director), Ashley Love (Intimacy Director), Jing Zhao (Composer), Camden Monroe (Set Design), Sam Martinez (Prop Design), Shelem Flores (Make-Up Design), Kevin Romero (Lighting Design), Performance Stage Manager and Crew TBD CAST (in order of appearance): Whitney Zangarine, Marty Blair, CarrieLee Sparks, Rodrick Randall, Cody House, Toba Atkins-Montana, Arielle Stuehrk, Emily Beth Lange, Emily Buesing, Shelem Flores.

Interview: Michelle Elaine of POTUS: OR, BEHIND EVERY GREAT DUMBASS ARE SEVEN WOMEN TRYING TO KEEP HIM ALIVE at STAGES

When I first moved to Houston in early 2021, theatre's across Houston began the slow process of reopening. One of the first productions featured an actress that I sorely wish I knew her incredible body of work before the pandemic. That actress, Michelle Elaine. Not only is she an exceptional actress but also one of the most amazing individuals in the Houston arts scene. When I found out she was cast in one of my favorite farces, short titled, POTUS, I was ecstatic and decided to interview this outstanding actress.
