The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to continue the 2026 season of its Sedona Professional Theatre Company with “Cry Wolf: A Play with Magic” live on stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre, running March 27-29.

“Cry Wolf: A Play with Magic” — written and performed by Rhett Guter — is directed by West Hyler.

"Cry Wolf" blurs the line between illusion and reality, transforming the theatre into a high-stakes game show where the prize is nothing less than truth itself. For 85 mesmerizing minutes, performer Rhett Guter invites audiences to play along — searching for the hidden “wolf” among volunteer contestants — as jaw-dropping magic, masterful tap dance, and deeply personal storytelling unfold.

Inspired by the spectacle of The Price is Right and the theatrical artistry of Derren Brown, this intimate one-man show asks profound questions about identity, authenticity, and the courage to be seen. "Cry Wolf" promises wonder, laughter, and revelation.
