Otherworld Theatre has announced casting for the world premiere of THE WINTER WOLF, a holiday fantasy by Joseph Zettelmaier and directed by Artistic Associate Lauren N. Fields.

The cast includes company members Katy Crow (Mother) and Nathan Pease (Father) with guest artists Molly Southgate (Cora), Shariba Rivers (The Winter Wolf), and Mike Rogalsky (Grandfather).

It’s Christmas night in Cora’s house. She’s visited by her beloved grandfather, a man of high spirits and failing health. They sit around the fireplace and she listens to the legend of the Winter Wolf, a strange creature who serves as Time’s hunter, stalking those who are in the winter of their lives. That night, the Winter Wolf comes for Cora’s grandfather, but the young girl manages to trap it. What follows is a magical journey through the mysteries of time, as Cora learns how far one can go for the sake of someone they love.

THE WINTER WOLF runs December 6 – January 6, 2019 at 3914 N Clark Street, Chicago, IL 60613. For more information, or to purchase tickets visit OtherworldTheatre.org.
