CASTING FOR SEASON TWO OF STRANGERS IN PARADISE: THE AUDIO DRAMA BEGINS! MEET OUR EMMA

As season one of our adaptation of Terry Moore’s classic wraps up, we are proud to announce the casting of Pamela Jean Agaloos as Emma...the key to opening a whole Pandora’s Box of intrigue and suspense revolving around Katchoo’s past!

Pamela Jean is an active musician in the trad scene in New York City. Born to Filipino parents in a US Naval Base in Chicago, she has a background in musical theater that began in the Philippines, where she lived until 2011. She also participates in folk sings like Exceedingly Good Song Night and the Sunnyside Singers Club, and is also a guest vocalist for the Celtic Rock band New York Brogue. Pamela makes Iona Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn her session home, which has hosted and attracted top-notch talent from the city and around the world.

“Emma may not be the biggest role, but she is a major part of I Dream of You.  As we’re going to see in flashbacks, Emma is a mentor and partner to Katchoo during the years she was missing from Houston.  I thought of Pam immediately, especially since I knew she was a kick-ass singer, which means the titular song of this arc will be brought vividly to life.  She’s got the style and the confidence to make Emma vivid in all aspects.”

Season Two, I Dream of You, introduces a number of new characters, including Darcy, a character whose actions have very far reaching repercussions, and Francine’s mother and uncle.  8TW is actively auditioning people for these and other roles (well, maybe not for Francine’s uncle; there’s a certain Sultan of Sound Design who may very well be perfect!). If you’d like to audition for this band of mouthy types, please contact us at ocadecagonagontheaterworks@gmail.com.  A familiarity with Terry’s work is helpful, but not necessary.  Please do keep in mind that, due to rights issues, Strangers In Paradise: The Audio Drama is strictly a fan work..
