HER SOUND, VOL. 1, now available
So lucky to be apart of this crew and bringing Ethan’s music to life! Listen to HER SOUND, VOL. 1 on all streaming platforms beginning January 15th!
“Thousand Faced Theatre Company, in association with Ryan Scott Oliver and Very Intense Productions, will present Her Sound, Vol. 1 by Ethan Carlson. Available on all streaming platforms January 15th, Her Sound, Vol. 1, written by Ethan Carlson, recent winner of Taylor Louderman’s Write Out Loud Contest, is the first of a three-part concept album to be released throughout 2021.
Her Sound is a new song cycle that reimagines the ancient stories of women. Instead of “wife”, “mistress”, and “sinner”, discover the untold accounts of a rebel contemplating the cost of knowledge for a bite of an apple, a liberated Queen celebrating her community of women, a groundbreaker escaping the walls that trap her, the origin story of Luci the Queen of Hell, and many more stories.”
SHIRLEY JACKSON + RSO COLLAB, ‘FUTURE DEMONS,’ now streaming

Jackson’s work was the basis of the hit Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House and the classic Robert Wise-directed film The Haunting. She is also the author of the iconic short story “The Lottery,” and was the subject of the recent film Shirley, executive produced by Martin Scorsese and starring Elisabeth Moss.
Future Demons will feature an impressive line-up of theater stars including (in alphabetical order) Kerstin Anderson, Britney Coleman, Jessie Hooker-Bailey, Victoria Huston-Elem, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Gerianne Perez, Catherine Ricafort, and Heathcliff Saunders — with Allie Boyle, Nicole DeLuca, Caitlin Doak, Samantha Ferrara, Alina Fontanilla, Adam Magnacca, Liam Joshua Munn, Kim Onah, Chloe Savit, Andreas Schmidt, Byron Turk, and Nicole Zelka.

The album is produced by Zecher-Ross and Oliver (JZRSO Studios), and orchestrations by RSO.
Closing The World of Pure Imagination... For Now
Tonight, we would have closed "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" in Tulsa, OK. I decided to have everyone send me a selfie since we never got a full company shot (we're missing a few friends, but this is our big old traveling family!) March 12th, Charlie played its final performance in Grand Rapids, MI without anyone knowing what would happen next. This company didn't get as much time as we expected together, but I truly would not change this experience for the world and I cross my fingers every day that I get to reunite with them when the factory gates reopen with more "wonder" than EVER. VERY special shoutout to Matt Lenz, Ali Solomon, Nate Patten, Natalie Malotke, Anthony Daniel, Jack O’Brien, Joshua Bergasse, Stewart/Whitley Casting, and NETworks Productions for putting this crew together because DAMN this is a special bunch.

My Cindy Journey Comes To A Close...
10 months. 214 performances. 88 cities. 36 states. I am forever thankful to our creatives, cast, crew, and the Work Light family for making this journey one I will never forget. Making my National Tour debut at 20 was terrifying, but the amount I’ve learned from every person in this company, good and bad, has forever changed me as a performer and person. Spreading kindness for a living will be something I am forever grateful to have been a part of, and something our world needs now more than ever.
“Now go, with the promise of possibility!”
Thanks Cindy!
