The Dunwich Dolls Reveal Pioneer Season

The Dunwich Dolls: Theatre Collective is a new theatrical production entity founded by Sushi Soucy, August Riley Greenwood, and January Eyler made to produce queer and diverse theater. Their pioneer production as a company, “Totaled: A Folk Rock Thriller” will be making its world premiere on August 9th and 10th at Theatre Horizon in Norristown, PA. Following that up, there will be a concert featuring August Greenwood and their writing partner Nalah Aidan Palmer featuring original work they’ve written over the years. The season will be topped off with Sushi Soucy’s highly anticipated musical “Lucifer’s Law”. More information about venue and dates for the latter two shows are TBA at a later date. 

Before this initial season, the founders of The Dunwich Dolls all worked on Rockabye, An original musical by Sushi Soucy. Rockabye, a story about five queer teenage musicians tasked with saving the world from the eldridge horror Azathoth. After a successful run at Bay Street Theater in downtown Savannah, GA, the production was posted online where it has garnered over 90,000 views on youtube as well as an enthusiastic following of dedicated fans. Since then, the original cast recording for the show was released on 9/21/2023  and has been streamed over 400,000 times, with more and more new listeners everyday. The precedent this show set, gave confidence to Soucy, Greenwood, and Eyler to start this ambitious endeavor. “Our mission statement as a theater company is to give under represented professionals a space to exist at every level of the production process for a show.  Audiences are hungry for stories that reflect a wider range of humanity. Rockabye was able to set a precedent for original queer stories within the musical theater canon and we hope to continue that legacy by producing more accessible theatrical productions” - January Eyler.
