Angelmakers: Songs for Female Serial Killers
On October 24, 25, 30, and 31, at The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls, audiences from around Pittsburgh experienced our true-crime concert musical that explores the moments and motives of female serial killers through history. With music ranging from post-punk to indie rock to country and beyond, this concert-play was a howl full of bad luck, pathos, and feminine rage.
The show featured blistering R&B singer Jacquea Mae and music-theater favorites Julianne Avolio and Drew Leigh Williams, with guitarist/ clarinet-shredder Lenni Green, bass player Allie Reefer and drummer Cassie Prentiss, and guest artists Liz Berlin, Mari Frazé-Frazénko of Frazé-Frazénko and the Happy Lovers, and Mai Khoi.
Angelmakers asked audiences to hold in one hand their righteous anger at senseless violence, and in the other, an awareness of the humanity inside of each of us.
Because after all, everyone deserves one song.

“RealTime makes theater about communities, with communities in mind, and they don't pay lip service to it. They walk the walk, they don't just talk the talk.”
