Tales of seduction. Or something.

Duration: 15m53sec Size: 10.9M

[esplayer url = “http://traffic.libsyn.com/artc/Podcast.mp3” width = “80” height = “20” title = “Tales of seduction. Or something.”]

What can I say about this podcast? Well, it’s the first sixteen minutes of a fairly recent live show: at StageDoor Players this past February (2007.) The underlying theme for this show was seduction. Originally it was supposed to have been Love, but due to scheduling difficulties, it wasn’t performed in the theater until after St. Valentines Day.

The opening music has been removed as it was not podcast safe, and there are a few other minor edits, but otherwise, the material presented is pretty much in the order that it was originally performed. Our host/announcer is Daniel Kiernan, who (upon reflection) *does* look a bit like Garrison Keillor.

Memorial Day part 2 of 2

Last week we celebrated the upcoming Memorial Day holiday with a few timely pieces, and this week we conclude that celebration with a wonderful piece entitled Unaccustomed to Fear, written by Terry Quinn, performed at Stone Mountain Park’s Memorial Hall on May 29, 2005.

Unaccustomed to Fear was originally performed at the National Audio Theatre Festivals audio theatre workshop in June of 2002 and it made quite an impression on me.  When an opportunity for us to perform at Stone Mountain on the Memorial Day weekend, I knew this was the perfect piece for us to bring to our audience.  I contacted the author and was luckily able to negotiate the rights to perform it again.  Unfortunately I was not able to reprise my role as the narrator as my cousin was getting married in Boston at the time.  The story is based on true events and we hope you enjoy it.

The Turn Out

Back in 2004 we did a show at Stone Mountain Park called “Frontier Days”.  We got a lot of great new material out of it because the theme of the festival was Georgia between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War…not exactly a haven for our usual SF and Fantasy stuff.  We also performed it outdoors…predictably, it rained.  But we still got a good show, and we’re bringing it to you in installments.

This time we bring you The Turn Out by Augustus Baldwin Longstreet, adapted for audio by Daniel Taylor.  It takes place at Easter, which we missed by about a month, but it also deals with school, and with school about to let out for summer, we thought this would still be a good time to trot this out.

Everything must come to an end.  And so it goes with the serial we’ve been bringing you for the last three weeks, “The Adventures of the Crimson Hawk: The Crimson and the Red” by Thomas E. Fuller [EDIT 4-21: Whoops!  This episode was written by William Alan Ritch!].  This is the third and final installment in this particular saga, but there’s plenty more where that came from.  We currently have almost twenty adventures of the Crimson Hawk, so if you like them be sure to let us know!

Also this week we bring you an ARTC favorite, “Bumpers Crossroads: Hide, A Cow’s Outside” by Daniel Taylor.  The last word on the end of a lot of bad jokes.  This was recorded live at the Gwinnett History Center back in 1999.

And lest you forget that we have more recent work available, there’s also a short sample from our studio release of Robert A. Heinlein’s “The Menace From Earth”.

Hello again, and welcome to another ARTC podcast.  This week I’ve chosen to call the episode “Continuity” for a couple of reasons.  First, we’ll be continuing the episode of “The Crimson Hawk” that we began last week by playing part two of “The Crimson and the Red” by Thomas E. Fuller [EDIT 4-21: Whoops!  This episode was written by William Alan Ritch!].

Next we’ll bring you “Unresolved Mysteries, Solved While U Wait: A Very Special Creation” by Ron N. Butler, which, without giving too much away, deals with the continuity of the universe.
