Good day, my friends! I hope you’re all enjoying the holiday season of your choice! We here at 8TW are very inclusive...just remember, it’s always the season for giving when it comes to people less fortunate than ourselves!
We’re still on holiday break here at the virtual recording studio, but that doesn’t mean we’re standing around doing nothing! Yesterday, our Graphic Design Doyen Clair auditioned for the upcoming season of America’s Got Talent, and while we’re scattered all across the country, we were all behind her sending her positivity and encouragement. And two of our writers, Thomas Deja and David Ellis, are hard at work on new scripts for upcoming production. David’s project is the debut of F.O.X.E.S., Lightning Bolt: Ressurection, featuring the heroines of our January production Death Code: Ninja. And Tom is almost done with our February production Beauties and The Beast (which will be released on Valentine’s Day and might be our first 8TW After Dark presentation, but more on that in the coming weeks) and is writing the first episode of the first Eileen Thorne: Freelance Lab Assistant serial, set to debut in March! Tom also recorded another bonus feature for Death Code: Ninja, as he sat down to watch the actual films whose VHS Box inspired David to write next month’s extravaganza. Not only does he discuss the movie, its ‘auteur’ Godfrey Ho and how close we came to capturing the source material, he recorded his reactions as he watched! Come to The Movies: Death Code: Ninja will be available as part of the DCN box set in February (and if you’re a Patreon of Thomas’ Domicile of Dread, you can hear it right now!).
Of course, we’re sure some of you folks have friends and family who like audio drama, and you’d like the perfect present for them. Well, lucky you...next Monday, the 8TW will be offering Public Domain Comic Theater Comics For Your Ears #1: Horror, which collects our first two productions back in October, the special production that was made available to select You Tube and Podcast audiences last month, and a brand new production, Dancer of Death (be prepared for all the accents, 'cause we got 'em in this one!). Each of these stories are introduced and narrated by The Horror Host (portrayed by our Sultan of Sound Design Chris Honeywell), giving a little spice to each story. Plus our individual players came up with some exclusive commercials and other interstissal bits, and you should also get some trailers for future titles. It’ll be yours for only $5, wrapped up for you in a pleasant little zip file tied with an imaginary bow.
And while, for the time being, we will be making this first box set available through Ko-Fi starting this coming Monday, the 21st... that is going to change. Femmie London, our Maven of Marketing, has been deep at work. Our plan for next year includes the installation of a Patreon and an online shop where you’ll be able to purchase our box sets...and maaaybe some other stuff. We already have some ideas of what we can offer Patrons (there’s a reason we’re renovating a virtual space on our Discord presently codenamed ‘Da Lounge’), but if you have an idea of what you’d like to see, please let us know at ocadecagonagontheaterworks@gmail.com!
