Restless? It’s okay, we are too and would like to meet you.
EMP Collective is currently casting for its upcoming production, NIGHT SWEATS. Night Sweats is a mixed-media on-your-feet theatrical journey through a dream-scape world acid-laced with puppet confidants, vultures, and swamp things.
The show will be a collaboration of theatre, movement, music, film, and visual art, and EMP Collective is currently casting for the following roles:
GORDON – 17, About to enter college, has a morbid fear of a 7-foot tall anthropomorphic bird on a children’s show called Poppyseed Place, his only friend is a small puppet named Bluebarb prescribed to him to cope with his fears.
CONROY – An older man lost at sea in a boat. There is something off and uncomfortable about his presence.
CRYSTAL – 20s, southern (accent great, NOT necessary), left town after high school
TIFFANY – 20s, southern (accent great, NOT necessary), young mother, stayed in town
MOSS LADY – Once human, now a creature that lives in the swamps of Florida feeding herself and her dead family off lost passersby. She is the fodder of campfire legends come true.

On another note, there’s this guy:
Hello,
I would love to audition for the part of Gordon. I unfortunately had to work yesterday and tonight. Is it possible to come in at a separate time? I’m new to Baltimore and picked up a flyer for the auditions, it looks like a really awesome project. I have done a lot of professional acting in the past and I can supply a resume. Let me know. Thanks so much.

I will now come to this site because my uncle norm (That SICK F*CK!!!) told me to. I do love him… in a disturbed Platonic sort of way. It is exactly like a Venus flytrap and its relationship with roundup tipped Kevlar coated weed eater string.
The latest series of three stories should never… I mean it should always… be put forth
on all grade school bullet boards and homework posting pages.
It is because of your collaboration ( EMP ) that I have seen them, and I am now aware.
It will never be unlearned or forgotten. Thank You!
