The Unexplored Places

It's Christmastime in Deliverance and despite the decorations, the gingerbread lattes, and the gently falling snow, all is not well in this sleepy Ohio town. The Kindred have detected a dangerous presence -- or, dangerous presents -- lurking somewhere inside of the Super Walmart, a presence somehow tied up in the feud between two warring Christmas tree lots. What festive ghost, ghoul, or demon awaits the Kindred, through those automatic doors, and what does Fairweather frat XMS have to do with it?   NOTE: This episode takes place prior to DELIVERANCE, OH 01 and can be listened to out of sequence with the continuity of the season.    twitter: @unexploredcast cover art by Chaz: @cicadahymns theme music by Andrew: http://andrewperricone.bandcamp.com/

A possessed frat boy, a tense stand-off, and a magnificent self-destruction join alongside childhood trauma and familial disagreement to create... a fairly typical Christmas in Deliverance. Will XMS make back the money they spent on Slavoj Žižek? Will Remedy finally get the respect she deserves from Ashleigh? Will Meredith ever sell a goddamn Christmas tree? And what does Canada have to do with it all?  NOTE: This episode takes place prior to DELIVERANCE, OH 01 and can be listened to out of sequence with the continuity of the season.  CONTENT WARNINGS: drug use, character death twitter: @unexploredcast cover art by Chaz: @cicadahymns theme music by Andrew: http://andrewperricone.bandcamp.com/

Several uneventful months after their encounter with the Fata Morgana, our motley crew of heroes stumbles across something supernatural in the heart of London — something to do with a mysterious apparition that's not entirely as it seems.

Catfishes!: The Rock Opera at the Gargoyle Theatre Promises to Delight, Disgust, and Despair by Jorb Jarvis, Daily Albacore Quay Gazette The Gargoyle Theatre, known primarily in Albacore Quay for its middle-of-the-road theatrical productions and its excellent Children's Theatre Tuesdays, is staging its riskiest venture yet: a world premiere rock opera penned by a local writer.  According to Lloyd Webb-Andrews, who wrote the shows ambitious book and score, Catfishes! is a pensive meditation on the natural lifecycle of the catfish, as well as a deep, exhaustive examination of the trouble of the human psyche in absentia of nature. The show's orchestra features local experimental percussionist St. John Holiday, known for his work with crotales in water, as well as insta-famous drummer The Sticc, and lighting design by long-time Gargoyle technician and first-time designer, Bishop St. John.  Still, I can't help but wonder if The Gargoyle would have been better served by selecting a less ambitious, or more relatable show for their first ever rock opera. Les Mis, for example, which is a reliable crowd-pleaser, would perhaps be easier for audiences to fully immerse themselves in, as the identifiable human characters might make it easier for audiences to relate to the story being told. While judgement should likely be withheld until the show finally opens, one inside source who asked to remain anonymous let this reporter in on a secret: infighting between the orchestra and technical crew, as well as some financial issues, have led the show down a precarious path, with some involved doubting whether the show will even go up at all!  All in all, the show is slated to be the experience of a lifetime, whether for better or for worse. You heard it here, folks, from The Daily Albacore Quay Gazette: be sure to get a ticket so you don't miss your chance. It'll be a story worth telling either way.  Catfishes!: The Rock Opera opens for previews on September 17th, with opening night on the 24th. Tickets are now available from the box office, boxoffice@gargoyletheatre.com.    This month on The Unexplored Places, join a group of obnoxious musical theatre adults playing a disastrous group of obnoxious musical theatre adults in this three-part Fiasco.

[ Excerpt taken from http://www.blog'soffice-likeboxoffice-reviewsbycardamomrigby-localcritic.net with permission of the author ]  Lights. Camera. Action! I believe it was this critic's favorite, other, critic, Anton Id, who said that "In many ways, the work of a critic is easy." Indeed, a theatre critic's work is easy when presented with a piece that is, at once, deeply daring, deeply discerning, and deeply debatable… "Spiderman: Turn Out the Dark" comes to mind, as does 2002's "Dance of the Vampires" (featuring this critic's favorite popular song, "Total Eclipse of the Heart"), and Frankie Muniz's one-man take on "Shrek: The Musical." Catfishes: The Rock Opera is the next in this long, storied line of theatrical titans, playing now at Albacore Quay's own Grand Gargoyle. Lloyd Webb-Andrews' vision will stare deeply into your soul, begging the immortal question: "Why do I feel this way?" This critic says: this is good. This. Is art. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this critic's favorites: "I am More than the Sum of my Scales", an impassioned, 30-minute solo, "Are We Catfishes, or Catfish?", a thoughtful meditation on grammar, and a delightful — and lengthy — water & crotales solo in the third act. Thank you, as always, for reading Blog's Office, authored by yours truly, Cardamom Rigby. EDIT: "Catfishes: THE Rock Opera" has closed. Let us rage, rage against the passing of the light.   This week on The Unexplored Places, the long-awaited finale of a group of obnoxious musical theatre adults playing a disastrous group of obnoxious musical theatre adults in this three-part Fiasco.

The rehearsal of this play was honoured with the presence of the Lord Daelyngridge, of the Daelyngridge Estate in ——shire, a man of distinguished understanding and fine taste. That elegant and industrious person will, I hope, pardon my brief explication of the exigence of tonight's performance, a tragicomedy of the deepest and most urgent significance to us, its players. The subject of the play 'tis hoped will be acceptable to all lovers of mankind, as it takes up the question of the ambition of man against his better nature, and indeed, too, against nature; as you shall see, 'tis not only with himself and his social station with which the central character must do battle, but against nature itself, as made manifest on the stage. For want of a fish, he must surmount those barriers placed before him and, through clever ingenuity, cooperation with his fellow man, and those tools which he has to hand.  It is with these great and terrible forces that Kenneth Pauley must contend, at the heart of the play, even more than those other great forces which trouble him, those forces which plague us all and guide the very paths of our lives: family, obligation, wealth, love. With an aim in sight that seems to be just out of grasp, he must make the choice to pursue his goal to the bitter end, irregardless of what obstacles stand before him. It is Kenneth's heroic and arduous attempt to triumph over that which stands in his way that occupies our minds. This play takes up the question that so many great works of drama, comedic and tragic alike, have taken up before it, to various effect: what is mankind's place in the world, and is he subject to fate, or may he, if he be so bold, reach out and seize his own path?    Scene Thieves by Tyler Crumrine: https://possible-worlds-games.itch.io/scene-thieves Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/unexploredcast Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/unexploredcast Follow us on Tumblr: https://unexploredcast.tumblr.com/ Music by Andrew: https://andrewperricone.bandcamp.com/

THE ——SHIRE DAILY CHRONICLEMONDAY, MARCH 12, 1816 THEATRICAL MARVEL TURNS CATASTROPHE AT THE DAELYNGRIDGE ESTATE Just this past Saturday, at Lord Daelyngridge's annual spring fête, amidst a performance of the glorious opera Cat Fishes: or, the Trial of the King from London's own Fish & Quips Players, a sudden death interrupted the final scenes of the play, disrupting the performance and sowing chaos and confusion amidst Lord Daelyngridge's esteemed guests.  What led to the tragic death at the Daelyngridge Estate this weekend last? None witness to the event can truly say, nor corroborate any individual story, and in the absence of authentic information we have been assailed by a storm of rumors which has prevented our distinguishing error from truth. Now, however, that the storm is past and, like the calm waters of the ocean on the clearest of days, we are once again able to see the horizon beyond, we have been granted the clarity and serenity to contemplate the situation at hand, and fish truth from the waves of deceit. The truth, it seems, maybe stranger still than the stories told to make sense of it…   Scene Thieves by Tyler Crumrine: https://possible-worlds-games.itch.io/scene-thieves Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/unexploredcast Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/unexploredcast Follow us on Tumblr: https://unexploredcast.tumblr.com/ Music by Andrew: https://andrewperricone.bandcamp.com/
