Engaging, moving and hopeful, this one-person show examines links between what magicians do and what child sexual abusers do – and how secrets can be powerful in positive and destructive ways. Based on the performer’s true-life story from 1970s Boston to today, Keeping Secrets combines acting, visuals and a magic trick or two. A riveting performance, the show explores how traumatic experiences can be transformed into positive action. Creator Jim Vetter has enchanted fans internationally as a magician, mime and actor. Preview audiences call Keeping Secrets: Amazing, riveting, raw, funny, hopeful and that it 'should be on Netflix.’
