ECHOES OF HORROR, a month-long 8TW Halloween celebration, to feature all-original audio plays to make listeners shiver!

In October 2020, 8TW (then called the Ocadecagonagon Theater Works) released its first production, an episode of Public Domain Comics Theater adapting the horror comic 'Flee The Phantoms.'

Not surprisingly, even though 8TW was originally conceived to adapt the Terry Moore epic Strangers In Paradise, we have had a strong affinity for the horror genre.  So it stands to reason that this October, to mark our second anniversary, we wanted to present you with something special.

Echoes of Horror is a festival of all original short horror audio dramas written by members of our troupe that span a number of different styles and tastes and featuring a couple of surprise performances by well known personages to members of the Horror Podosphere!  Join us throughout October for some great chillers to creep you out!

Oct 1st: "We Need To Talk About Your Son" by Anna Crawford
This two-hander features some sharp writing and excellent performances by Nicole Thomte and Thomas Deja

Oct 7th: "The Bridge" by David Ellis
...and speaking of excellent performances, Brad Oxnam (Freddie Femur in our adaptation of Strangers In Paradise) knocks it out of the park playing multiple roles in this tale of writer's block and storybook tales that get very dark!

Oct 14th: "I Was A Middle Aged Werewolf" by Arthur Ratnick
Come with us to a simpler time, where a retired postal worker accidentally gets in touch with his furry side, guest starring Dread Media's Des Reddick in the starring role and an excellent turn by Sarah Palmero!

Oct 18th: "Our Bodies Ourselves" by Thomas Deja
KBSY, Big Sky, Montana, has a message for its viewers...just stay calm and don't make any irrational decisions...with a cameo by YouTube's Twisted Girl Next Door Chauncey K. Robinson! 

Oct 21st: "The Creature Is Coming" by David Ellis
Just keep repeating 'It's only a movie...it's only a movie...'  But is the movie trailer you're watching about a real movie?  Featuring the monster stylings of Earth Destructive Directive's Luke Jaconetti!

Oct 28th: "This Little Piggy" by Thomas Deja
A throwback to classic EC comics is a tale of vengeance, scotch and sausages featuring standout performances by Pamela-Jean Agaloos and David Ellis!

....and it all comes to a head on Halloween with the feature length production "I Married The Loveland Frog!" by Anna Crawford, starring Hypnogoria's Jim Moon.  It's another throwback to another classic piece of Americana that will leave you nostalgic--and nauseous!!!

All of the plays will feature sound design by 8TW's exceptional Sultan of Sound Chris Honeywell.

You can download or stream the audio dramas here. They will also be available on Apple Podcast, Podbay and other places where quality podcasts can be accessed.  Please note that the schedule is subject to change.

8TW OPEN CALL!

8TW (a.k.a. The Ocadecagonagon Theater Works) are an LGBT+ friendly group devoted to creating audio dramas that are geeky, sometimes funny, sometimes campy and overall fun.  These are presently unpaid positions (although we hope to change that in the future), but we provide a fun, upbeat community that will allow you to grow in skill and versatility with little judgment.  Suitable recording equipment is required, and all voice tracks are saved in a 2400 bit wav. format.  We record 'live' in our own Discord channel usually on Sunday afternoons from 1-4pm EST.

We are having an open call for several of our projects for the next year on May 15th at 1:00pm EST.  Among the projects we are presently casting for are:

Strangers In Paradise: Our authorized fan adaptation of Terry Moore's genre-bending slice of life/soap opera/comedy/noir is about to enter into production of our 4th Season, Love Me Tender.  We expect to begin recording shortly.

F.O.X.E.S: Our martial arts/spy spoof throwback series will be wrapping up its second serial, Lightning Bolt Resurrection, and gearing up for its third story, Ninja School Reunion.  In addition to guest cast for Ninja School Reunion, we'll be looking for new actors to take on the main roles of Sally and Yuki!

Barbarian Queen 2: The Empress Strikes Back is our take on sword-and-sorcery films of the 80's, particular those produced in Italy.  Most roles are open (save for the invisible werewolf, sorry), and sides will be available for some characters in advance of the audition.

VHS Box Theater: a few of our productions are in different places on the timeline, including Women's Prison Massacre and Elves.

Eileen Thorne: Freelance Lab Assistant: We expect to begin the second storyline of this comedic time-hopping caper in the Fall, and several new roles will be required.  If you're able to sound like a dolphin or a baby seal, this project is for you!

We're also looking for a couple of new members of our 'repertory' to handle minor roles.  Members of our rep always step up to featured role; this position would be perfect for someone just starting out in voice acting and looking to build up their reel.  Voice actors of color and LGBTQ+ actors are especially encouraged to audition!

If you would like to attend the open call, please email us at 8twinfo@gmail.com with your voice reel (or a link).  If we feel you'd be a good fit, we'll send you a link to our discord before Sunday.   If you would like sides for any of the above projects, let us know in your email. Thank you for considering working with us!  See you on Sunday!
