The Twelve Days of An Atlanta Christmas (2015) Day 3

Welcome to the Twelve Days of An Atlanta Christmas (2015 edition)! Leading up to our December 12 and 13 performances at the Academy Theatre in Stockbridge, we’ll be bringing you our own take on this holiday classic!

On the third day of An Atlanta Christmas, my true love gave to me…three singers singing…
…two Stockbridge shows
And an interview on WABE!

Music is an integral part of the holiday season. It nearly always comes up on everyone’s list of things they think of when they think of this time of year. Whether it’s a favorite old carol, a new classic, or an obnoxious earworm that you’ll never get rid of, the music of the season is inescapable and we’ve been privileged to have a number of extremely talented guests at our live performances over the years.

Spectrum LogoThis year’s performance of An Atlanta Christmas will feature Spectrum, Atlanta’s Trans Community Choir! Several ARTC members are a part of this all-inclusive singing group, and we’re looking forward to hearing what they have to bring to the show! (There’s probably going to be more than 3 of them.)

We apologize for the lateness of the podcast this month. Dragon Con ate our brain.

Well, this is it. The final chapter in this 5-part saga of The Passion of Frankenstein. It’s been quite a summer with an unprecedented three performances of this gothic masterpiece.

We hope you’ve enjoyed getting to hear this piece from the different casts. We looked for some of the older performances, but they appear to have been misplaced. If we find them, maybe we’ll run them later.

In the previous installments of this piece, the music was done by Brad Weage. In this final installment we were pleased to have live music from The Ghosts Project.

We’re back with another podcast, and this time we’re coming back to the studio production of The Passion of Frankenstein. Remember, you can get this production in all its glory, with CD quality sound instead of the heavy compression we put on the podcast tracks, right here!

Also, just like the last time we used the studio production, we have no photos from that show, so we’re bringing you more from the LibertyCon show.

Daniel Kiernan

If you’re attending Dragon Con 2015, you’ll have the chance to see Daniel Kiernan bring his talents to the role of Johnny Raven in our newest release and award winning episode, Blues for Johnny Raven, Episode One: The Ambiance Man.

Thoughts from Daniel on his work over the years:

Now: “I played many different roles in ARTC from Skip Saigon, to Fred Bumper to Johnny Raven and the Monster.”

Then: “Before ARTC I was a performer with MRAP and was known as Great Caesars Ghost, Batman and The Dark Fruit bat.”

Catch a sneak peak of Daniel Kiernan rehearsing for the role of The Monster from The Passion on Frankenstein for our 2015 LibertyCon performance here!
