Fresh off our performance at the Academy Theatre comes the 2010 update of The Last Dragon to Avondale by Thomas E. Fuller.  We’d like to take just a moment to thank Bob Zimmerman for turning around the post-production of this piece so quickly for the podcast.

The Last Dragon to Avondale was performed as a benefit for the Georgia Aquarium.  Thanks to everybody who came out to support audio drama and the study of endangered species.  And what’s more endangered than the last fire-breathing dragon in the world?

This month we bring you Blues for Johnny Raven.  Longtime listeners to the podcast will remember that this was the fifth podcast we ever published, and that we re-ran it later.  But this is the 2009 edition, with Daniel W. Kiernan as Johnny Raven, Fiona K. Leonard as Gloria Kinsolving, and Mary Buchanan on live saxophone!  This piece clearly illustrates the evolution of ARTC as a live performance audio drama company and the power of audio as a storytelling medium.

Welcome everyone to the last Christmas podcast of the year.  We conclude the season with another very recent show, Sunday, December 23 to be exact.  And we are proud to bring you a segment of An Atlanta Christmas that has never been presented before.  “Civil War Triptych”, written by Thomas E. Fuller, follows the Christmas stories of three characters, each with an entirely different situation and take on the season.

Again, technical reasons prevented me from including the performer’s names in the audio, but they are Clair W. Kiernan, Veronica Byrd, and Jeff Montgomery.  Assisting with the song at the end are Dawn Marie and Sarah Taylor.  Special thanks to our performance coach, Doug Kaye.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our annual presentation of An Atlanta Christmas.  We look forward to doing it again next year.

Hey, folks, technical difficulties are forcing me to post this week’s installment without intro or outro crediting information.  Hopefully this is just temporary, but we’ll see.

This week’s episode is from an extremely recent show.  Like this past weekend.  Yes, from December 8, 2007 at 4pm to be exact, we present “Cut-Out Christmas” by Thomas E. Fuller, adapted for audio by Daniel Taylor and featuring the voices of Veronica Byrd and Burt Tanner.  Foley effects created by Sonya with Caran Wilbanks.  Music by Brad Weage.

The Brides of Dracula part 1 of 3

Duration 21:27, File Size 14.9M

The Brides of Dracula, by Thomas E. Fuller. (presented in three parts.)

Quite possibly one of the most ambitious ARTC projects, the February 2007 live performance at Stage Door Players required extra personnel: a stage/floor manager, 3 foley artists instead of the usual one or two, a second sound engineer and mixing board solely for the foley sound, and two people to manage the digital effects. Plus extra consideration for the Brides singing parts, and our guest musicians – another rare event.

The outcome? Judge for yourself. Brides of Dracula was the featured story for this show, and comprised the entire post-intermission show.

The Passion of Frankenstein – selected scenes

Length: 14:05  Size: 6.6M

[esplayer url = “http://traffic.libsyn.com/artc/ARTC42-Frankenstein.mp3” width = “80” height = “20” title = “The Passion of Frankenstein”]

Hello again!

This week, in honor of Fathers Day, we bring you selected scenes from The Passion of Frankenstein, by Thomas E. Fuller.  It’s going to be a little different this week, though.  We’re going to feature some scenes, but we’re also going to highlight a little bit of what goes into creating the audio drama that we all know and love.  We’ll take a few short clips from the raw voiceover and then transform them with music and sound effects into new old-time radio.  Whereas we normally bring you material from our live productions, the source for this material comes from the studio.
