We spoke with Bonnie Jo Stufflebeam about her project, and she had this to say:
Strange Monsters — will be, if we fund by August 1st! — an album of my fiction and poetry read by actors then set to original compositions written by Peter Brewer and played by local musicians. The title comes from a May Sarton poem; the theme of the album is women and the sacrifices they make to have what they desire. I’m hoping to portray this theme multiple ways. In one story, a cursed dancer wants only to express herself creatively, giving up the chance at love and freedom. In another, a woman takes her new partner home to her sexually-repressed town, only to revert back into the monster she once was. In “Mrs. Stiltskin“, which originally appeared in Lakeside Circus, Rumplestiltskin’s wife endures police questioning in an officer’s search for her missing children.
“Mrs. Stiltskin” is going to be one of the most fun pieces to work on. It’s told in a Q&A format, with the dueling voices of the police office and Mrs. Stiltskin. We’re going to hire two actors to perform the parts. Once they’re recorded, Peter will write the music. He hasn’t decided yet what he’s going to do, but one idea is that he’ll have dueling horns, one for each character. We’ll record the piece at our in-house studio, Easy Brew Studio, and then he’ll mix everything together.
Please consider donating to help us pay everyone involved and produce the album itself; every bit helps!
Go here to donate to their Kickstarter. As of Tuesday July 28, they were $600 away from being funded with only 3 days left to go.
