The other option would be Episode 100, Toast, since they used all 27 voices that have been on the show so far, adding that “hearing more than one person’s voice would be nice on this lonely desert island.” Hard pressed for an answer, Cranor chose Episode 33, titled Cassette: “It’s creepy and weird and there’s a bunch of different textures, and a lot of plot that isn’t directly stated- there’d be a lot to think about,” he said of the episode. To conclude the interview, Cranor told The Siskiyou that if he was stranded on a desert island with one episode of “Welcome to Night Vale”, he’d have to pick an episode his fellow creator wrote, citing the unbearable cringe of listening to your own words read back to you. However, he could tell us they “have another project which is not television related,” and he thinks this summer they’ll be able to announce more about it. “I don’t want to imply there’s a chorus line dance number halfway through,” he jokes, clarifying it’s just small changes to make the physicality of the actors clearer on stage.Ĭranor couldn’t tell us about anything related to the potential of a “Welcome to Night Vale” streaming series, which has been teased for many years now. One of the biggest changes they made early on was bringing a choreographer in to get the actors more comfortable with their movements. Cranor, laughing, told The Siskiyou that he’ll see one of the later shows and notice how different the energy is on stage when the actors have found even more funny and dramatic beats. Throughout the beginning of the tour, Cranor and Fink made small tweaks to the story here and there, but eventually took a step back and let it run its course. He loves the elements that create a small town atmosphere, where the intrigue doesn’t just come from the geography, but those that inhabit it. This focus on community, Jeffrey told us, comes from his childhood admiration of Steven King, whose infamous hometowns have buried hatchets in the hearts of readers for decades. During the live performance, Cecil does a great job of engaging and entertaining an audience, and definitely creates a strong feeling of community in the room. In the live show, the creators wanted to hyper-realize that homeiness, making the theater a little bit of home in the way Night Vale is. We also found out where he gets inspiration, and even got a sneak peek into an upcoming project.Ĭranor makes it clear that the heart of Night Vale is narrator Cecil Baldwin, with his larger-than-life presence and welcoming tone. This humble student paper was also offered an opportunity to interview creator Jeffrey Cranor, in order to pick his (mysterious) brain about this newest endeavor. The Siskiyou was lucky enough to be offered tickets to their show in Portland at Revolution Hall, an old highschool-turned-venue tucked away in a beautiful, flowerlined neighborhood in the Buckman District. However, creators Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor have strayed from their beaten path with the “Welcome to Night Vale”’ live show, which plans to visit 56 cities worldwide from March to October. In this town, television is a thing of the past, and community radio reigns supreme as our narrator Cecil Baldwin (narrating as Cecil Palmer) talks us through traffic, strange lights above the Arbys, interviews with Night Vale citizens, the weather, and sometimes even occurrences with their ‘Strange Yet Menacing Government Agency’.

Here, the Glow Cloud (all hail) controls minds and also takes part in the PTA, the faceless old woman who secretly lives in your home… lives in your home (but secretly), and the librarians have an unnerving taste for blood. An untraceable trip into a small desert town located… somewhere.
