An Atlanta Christmas 2024

Welcome! Welcome to our family Christmas, to every family Christmas that ever was or ever will be! Join us for an evening filled with merriment and memories as we bring you Thomas E. Fuller’s original An Atlanta Christmas for our 40th anniversary.

Come hear the origins of the Christmas tree in the south, stories from the field of battle, the childhood wishing for that perfect gift, Christmas pageants, and the trials and tribulations of the mall Santa Claus.

In a season awash with Marley’s ghost (from England) and Sugarplum Fairies (set in Germany by a Russian composer), come back home to celebrate Christmas in the South.

An Atlanta Christmas

It’s that time again! Time to make your plans to see this year’s rendition of An Atlanta Christmas. As you may know, we change up the scripts every year to keep the show fresh, but this year we went all out and came up with four brand new, never-before-heard scripts from our talented writers.

And, as if that weren’t enough, we will also be presenting the first ever live performance of Mercury: A Broadcast of Hope, our daily audio drama! We’ll be performing the episodes that will have gone live that very day on both days of the shows!

Tickets are here, but get them early! The venue is small and tickets are just $5 until November 27 and then we start our yearly celebration of the 12 Days of An Atlanta Christmas, with the price going up by $1 every day until the day of the show! Advance tickets on the show dates will be $17, but tickets at the door will be $20.

TWO PERFORMANCES:  Saturday, December 9 at 8:00 pm & Sunday, December 10 at 2:30 pm.

Welcome! Welcome one and all to our family Christmas, to every family Christmas that ever was and ever will be!

For the 18th consecutive year, ARTC brings you a selection of audio dramas that reveal the special celebrations of the holidays as seen through Southern eyes. Every year’s show is different, as we have expanded upon Thomas E. Fuller’s original vision, so if you’ve seen it before, you haven’t seen it quite like this. Add this unique tradition into your holiday season!

Tickets available here!

As we did last year, we will be celebrating the 12 days of An Atlanta Christmas with a tiered pricing structure. Tickets are just $5 until November 27 and then will go up by $1 per day until the day of the show. Advance tickets on December 9 will be $17 and if you wait to buy at the door they will be $20. The GOOD Acting Studio is a very small venue, so get your tickets today!

The Twelve Days of An Atlanta Christmas (2015) Day 12

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…twelve list’ners list’ning…
…eleven patrons giving…
…ten actors acting…
…nine sound effects…
…eight years of benefits…
…seven Christmas memories…
…six colored microphones…
five old CDs!
…four Foley artists…
…three singers singing…
…two Stockbridge shows
And an interview on WABE!

It’s here! It’s here! The day is finally here! Welcome one and all to our family Christmas, to every family Christmas that ever was or ever will be…

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Those are the words you’ll hear tonight at the opening of this year’s An Atlanta Christmas, just as we’ve said them every year for the last 16. But every show is different. We mix and match our series of vignettes into something unique and then, of course, there’s the excitement of live theatre – you never know what’s going to happen.

And so tonight, after a scant three weeks of prep time, we welcome you into our family for a night or two. We’re glad you’re coming. We’re so looking forward to seeing each and every one of you.

The Twelve Days of An Atlanta Christmas (2015) Day 11

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…eleven patrons giving…

…seven Christmas memories…
…six colored microphones…
five old CDs!
…four Foley artists…

And an interview on WABE!

As we get closer and closer to the performance date, we’d like to take a moment to thank everyone for the last 31 years (and counting!). For listening. For attending. For giving. For telling their friends and family. Audio drama is, by its very nature, an interactive art form. It’s a direct communication from the writers and actors and sound effects folks directly into the hearts and minds of our listeners.

We feel so loved by all the generosity that you’ve shown us, but we’d like to give you the opportunity to show a little more, if you’re so inclined. ARTC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and, as we’re approaching the end of the year, you might consider whether a tax-deductable donation is right for you.

There’s lots of other ways to support ARTC financially. Check out a few of these and find one that fits your budget and your level of enjoyment of what we do.

Thanks!

The Twelve Days of An Atlanta Christmas (2015) Day 10

It takes a lot of people to get audio drama into the ears of our audiences. Foley artists, audio engineers, floor managers, and a bunch of other people that we’re not sure what they do. Oh! They’re actors! Yes, those wonderful voices that are ultimately the focal point for telling the story.

This year we’ve got at least ten of those talented folks for you. Come meet them! Ask them questions! Get their autographs (unless you’re planning to forge their signatures, in which case skip the autograph)!

To create a truly immersive environment, you don’t just need Foley sound effects. You really need some good recordings, too. General ambiance, automobiles, aircraft, gunshots, and certain kinds of watery effects are just some of the examples of sounds that are better left in the digital realm, rather than trying to re-create them on the stage or even in the studio. What recorded SFX do we have for this year’s show? How about Atlanta drivers trying to get around in the snow?
