Music by Mike Pryzgoda

“Music director and composer Mike Przygoda, alongside sound designer Dee Etti Williams, craft a rich sonic landscape that skillfully balances music and spirituality, presenting them as deeply connected and occasionally in conflict. Their work captures the rigidity of a Southern religious household, the soulful joy of the blues, and lingering unease surrounding demonic forces.”

Reviews

Barbara Vitello (Daily Herald)

“Dee Etti-Williams’ sinister sound design are an appropriately foreboding complement to Walker’s nightmarish tale”

“Dee Etti-Williams’ sound design…works in haunting tandem with the lighting to create an atmosphere of gathering doom.”

Wesley David (Buzz Center Stage)

“Dee Etti-Williams' sound design echoes throughout the theater, making several audience members jump and look around, including me and the person sitting next to me.”

Kathy D. Hey (Third Coast Review))

“Dee Etti-Williams’s haunting soundscape… rattles us right down to the bones.”

ROBERT ERIC SHOEMAKER  (New City Stage)
