My wish with Make Believe is to remind the audience, magic not only exists, it also contains an inescapable soul, which has in fact never left us. I began writing the play with its six characteristic sisters and soon after I was surprised to learn that a similar family of six sisters did in fact live next door to two of the most imminent folklorists of the 19th century; the Brothers Grimm. From these sisters the brothers collected many of the fairy tales we know of today such as Rumpelstilzchen, The Singing Bone, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, etc. This strangely synchronistic turn of events has made me believe there is a deeper meaning guiding the Make Believe fairy tale. In a humble effort to thank these women for sharing their enduring and enchanting stories, I graciously dedicate Make Believe to The Sisters Wild.

An original play and score by Dylan Sheets The Center for the Arts DISCOVER SERIES presents Saturday, May 9, 8:00PM General Admission $20 members, $24 non-member, $15 student - See more at: http://thecenterforthearts.org/the-middle-kingdom/#sthash.eyfZzt0S.dpuf For centuries storytellers have been entertaining all over the world with wit, charm, humor & a shared passion for keeping stories alive into the modern age. The spark that fuels the imagination of these tale spinners emanates from a myriad of wellsprings. For Lasher Keen & their new musical play, The Middle Kingdom, this wellspring is gushing out of the glimmering stars & hollow hills of Ireland with her rich stock of legends & folklore. The Middle Kingdom is based on the story of Midhir & Etain, culled from the 12th century manuscript Lebor na hUidre & believed to be written in the language of the 8th century. It is an ancient love tale revolving around an otherworldly Goddess Etain.
