Breaking Radio Silence - The Atlanta Radio Theatre Company Newsletter

Greetings everyone and welcome to the ARTC newsletter, published on or around the first Tuesday of each month! The purpose of a newsletter is to bring news, so let’s begin with news about…

Live Performances:
ARTC is pleased to announce that we will have guest violinist Paul Mercer with us for The House Across the Way! A talented and innovative musician, Paul has appeared with the Changelings, Jill Tracy and her Malcontent Orchestra, and The Ghosts Project, among many others. He will be joining longtime ARTC composer, pianist, and synthesizer Brad Weage in what is sure to be a stunning duet, wrapping up Kelley S. Ceccato’s story of the romance between a grieving young man and the spirit of Hope Caudle.

The House Across the Way will accompany our feature presentation, The Last Dragon to Avondale (also on Audible.com) by Thomas E. Fuller. This show is a benefit for the Georgia Aquarium, with 25% of ticket sales going to support their research program for endangered and threatened species.

The Last Dragon to Avondale with The House Across the Way
March 27 at 8:00pm
March 28 at 2:30pm
Special Musical Guests: Rooke and Paul Mercer!
Tickets: $10
Special offer: FREE admission to the visually impaired with half-price admission for their sighted friends and family!

The roar of an approaching subway train becomes a different kind of roar and the train becomes a creature of quicksilver and flames. A case of nerves? Or the defiant cry of a creature older than humanity?

In The Last Dragon to Avondale, Thomas E. Fuller told a story of suspense and mystery through the magic of audio drama. In so doing he also speculated on what unique adaptations endangered species might be forced to exhibit to continue their very survival. ARTC is pleased to benefit the Georgia Aquarium in their study of endangered species by contributing 25% of total ticket sales to this cause.

Special musical guest, Rooke!

Also included, The House Across the Way by Kelley S. Ceccato featuring guest violinist Paul Mercer and Rory Rammer, Space Marshal: The Colour of the Shadow of the Outsider Over the Mountain of Madness Out of Space by Ron N. Butler.

Studio Productions:
ARTC is pleased to announce that we will be returning to our usual haunt, Audio Craft Studio, where Henry Howard will once again be providing recording engineering services for us. We always get great sound out of Henry and Audio Craft and we’re really excited to be bringing our latest batch of dramatic audio back to a place that can rightly be called home.

And don’t forget our already extensive catalog!

Off-dial Programming:
ARTC has had dozens, if not hundreds, of members in its run since 1984, and they don’t just do radio drama. Look for these ARTC members in performances around the Atlanta area…and beyond!
