HWMS Audio Theatre

We’re coming back.

It takes more than a hacker to keep HWMS Audio Theatre down.

We’re having to rebuild our theatre from scratch. Our site was hit by the vandals of the 21st century. Our shows are stored safely off site. Over the coming weeks, we will repost the work that we have done with some insight about how they were made. In addition, we’ll have some scenes from our new show, Which is currently under production.

Our Work:

  • Not About Kittens

    HWMS24715: Not About Kittens

    Sometimes you talk about Kittens.  

    They’re cute.  

    They’re silly.

    They’re endlessly diverting.

    Much more entertaining than cats

    So sometimes you talk about kittens when you should be talking about the cats in the room

    A short about our new production”Pinky and Beta” 

    Cast: 

                Beta: Ana DeLoret

                Pinky: Daniele Bertolucci

  • Maybe the Basquiats After All

    A short from our new show “Pinky and Beta Read Roberts Rules of Order.”

    Technically, it is a short from “behind the show.”  We’re using shorts to develop the characters, to explore how they operate in a different environment.  

    Pinky and Beta are the comic relief of the new show.  The expected characters who behave in unexpected ways.  They love meetings, especially board meetings, because of the social possibilities they offer.  

    Except maybe not this time. 

    “Maybe the Basquiats”

    Cast:

                      Wow: Zoe Anastassiou

                      Flutter: Kota Fudauchi

    “The Closest I’ve Come to Death”

    How close is close? 

    A desert.  A forgotten conflict.  A pair of lost souls. One trying to make a make as daring scientist.  The other trying to be forgotten as a loyal soldier.  Neither can get what they want nor can they fulfill the needs of the other.  

    A story of science on the battlefield.  In a time fairly close to our own and in a place not that far away.
