About The Show:
Design Concept:
Billy, the goat, Slim, the pig, and cat Nell, overhear when Farmer and his Wife decide that their donkey, Donny, is past his usefulness and his time is up. It’s up to them to warn Donny of his fate. Poor Donny! And he’s such a dreamer, too. In fact, he has a dream of becoming a famous musician one day. That’s it! He’ll leave the farm and follow that dream right to Brementown, the music mecca. As he starts his journey, he encounters Minnie, once a prize show dog, now no longer the pick of the litter. Minnie decides to throw her lot in with Donny, and the pair sets off. It isn’t long before Nell catches up with them. Recognizing the writing on the wall back at the farm, she decides to take her chances on Donny’s big idea, too. Of course, just because it was Donny’s idea doesn’t mean the others don’t have their opinions, as well. Their cacophonous attempt to make music jars the nerves.

The Brementown Musicians is a show about camaraderie and friendship, as well as facing the hardships of bullying and power imbalances. The Design concept was to take the already silly nature of the show and enhance it using immersive sound. To achieve this, we employ soundscapes and live foley effects that throw the audience into the world of our four animal troubadours.

The show used a live foley table, amplified by a dynamic mic on the end of the table and performed by the actors.

Mic Effect
The sound team worked with the props manager to make a ribbon microphone prop that we then made functional using a wireless lavalier microphone. We then took the microphone and put a delay effect on it to make it sound like an announcer mic with lots of slap back.
