Sound Design, Mixing and Music by Nissa Nordland Morgan

Special When Lit unapologetically pushes the boundaries of storytelling, finding a universal humanity in the weird, the extraordinary and the supernatural. We particularly enjoy using spectacle, blood and emboldened sexuality to create a visceral experience for the audience. Founder, Nissa Nordland Morgan, wrote plays The Fae and Incarnate, both performed at the Twin Cities Horror Festival. Nordland also wrote the audio horror Nisse-Natten, which was a part of Blight Christmas and received praise from the judges of the Atlanta Fringe Audio Festival. She was awarded the TC Arts Reader Critic’s Choice Award and won the Theatre in the Round Venue Pick for her play Xena and Gabrielle Smash the Patriarchy. Nordland is an alum of the Brave New Workshop Comedy Theatre, a member of the Playwright Cabal, company member of Theatre Pro Rata, and the Artistic Director of the Twin Cities Horror Festival.

This presentation explores gluttony, and the revenge of the consumed. Special When Lit asks- Do you know what (or who) you are eating? Possible Burger features the voices of pigs and sounds of the swine barn from the 2021 MN State Fair, recorded by Nordland herself.

WALKIES

by Paper Soul

written by J. Merrill Motz

performed by Logan Rodgers

outro music by Cherly KaCherly from the Free Music Archive

Walkies was inspired by many many many summer afternoons spent taking two particular dogs around a particular neighborhood and noticing their particular various quirks and...warning signs.

Paper Soul was founded by Motz (rhymes with boats, he/him/his) for the 2013 MN Fringe and has created several experiments in the solo performance style ever since. Motz tours these shows both in person and digitally to Fringe Festivals locally and (hopefully) across the country.

If you're listening to this episode in October 2021, you have until midnight on the 31st to catch Paper Soul's latest production BRIG, a Ghost Story for Film, available as a Video-On-Demand performance, only at www.papersoul.org

Special thanks to Katie Shay & Mike Heckman for letting me spend so much time with their awesome pups, Helen & Freyja.
