Description: mermaidWhile the name L. Frank Baum is most immediately associated with his legendary work The Wizard of Oz, the author is one of the most prolific writers to date. Following the success of Oz, Baum would go on to write the charming underwater adventure The Sea Fairies, published in 1911. Though one of Baum’s more obscure titles, it came to the attention of playwright and director Jack Dyville and writing partner John Stutte, who were inspired to adapt the novel into a children’s musical. The Mermaids’ Tale, which opens the Children’s Repertory Series at Secret Theatre later this month, promises to be a magical, musical adventure for both children and adults. Dyville says “the play has morphed a lot since its premiere in 2011”, with the show becoming even more “interactive and child-friendly.”

Valley of Four Dolls, Parts 43 A, B, & C is an evening length narrative piece following the play and imaginings of a young girl and her relationship with her most favored toys, a family of dolls. As the real and imaginary worlds of these characters intersect, the movement explores how the lines that define these worlds color, blur, and shape the people who inhabit them. This piece, with choreography by Christie Zimmerman and music by MIKA, was made possible through generous funding from Ball State University’s ASPiRE Creative Arts Program, and includes performances by z3movement project dancers Alex Kingma, Carley Luster, Maranda Mastin, Danielle Perna, Anna Scharer, Nick Smith, and Jacob Wright. 8:30 pm.

La Mezclatina Rising, Volume 1 is a collaborative multi disciplinary dance theater work supported by Pepatian and features artists: dancer/choreographers Jessie Flores and Cynthia Paniagua; actor and spoken word artist La Bruja/Caridad de la Luz; and video artist Nadia Hallgren.

The play revolves around Pirate Pete, a lovable rogue on a mission to find his beloved runaway parrot, Polly (who prefers pancakes to boring old birdseed). Upon setting out, Pete decides it can’t hurt to pick up some buried treasure, either, to help make the month’s rent. Armed with an endearing crew of misfits like Jolly Roger (the insufferably happy second mate) and Miroslav, the Czech mate (get it?), Pete embarks on a journey complete with songs, sword fights, and plenty of audience interaction. Says writer and star Richard Mazda, “The show is so much fun to do. One of my favorite things is seeing the parents enjoy it as much as the kids.” 2 pm.

Participants 14-24 work in a variety of entry-level jobs at government agencies, hospitals, summer camps, non-profits and hospitals. 2 pm.
