The Sounds of Sordid

Posted by DCA Theater on March 23, 2010 in January-June 2010 Season, INCUBATOR Series: The New Colony

by Andrew Hobgood, The New Colony Artistic Director and Director of Sordid Little Story

If you read our earlier post giving you a peek at the short story of That Sordid Little Story, you may have noticed the various references to the band and album that hold the same title.

Well, the band, made up of Chris Gingrich, Thea Lux, Henry Riggs and Tara Sissom, has been toiling away this month on the songs that are guiding Billy’s journey.

Here are a selection of songs that you can preview.

To tie this into the story that you read, That Sordid Little Story is the opening number of the show that welcomes in the audiences, Prologue sends Billy out into the world, Kissin’ Tree is when Billy meets Abigail and Caleb, and A Toast to Death is Billy’s introduction to Jerry, a caustic stand-up comedian who the band uses as their opening act.

These songs will be performed live at next Monday’s presentation. Hopefully you’ll be able to join us and share your thoughts!
