Thanks!!

We would be remiss if we didn't start out this month's newsletter by thanking everyone who came out and experienced ARTC this past season. We just wrapped up 2011-2012 and celebrated a lot of firsts. Our first back-to-back sellout crowds at the Academy Theatre, our first art show, our first live streaming broadcasts, and the first time many of you heard of us and the magic of radio.

There might be doubt about trees in forests, but I can tell you that if nobody is there to hear an audio dramatist, he might as well not even exist. So thank you all who came out and shared the power of the imagination with us!

Visual Art Exhibition

Do you like that illustration for The Time Machine? Of course you do. Did you like the one we had a few months ago for The Dancer in the Dark? I bet you did. Well, both of them were done by local artist Lindsay Archer and we're pleased to announce that we'll be having an exhibition of her work alongside our performance of The Time Machine in March, along with an up-and-coming local artist, Jen Richards!

Radio theatre lives in sound, but it can't live in sound alone. Come explore the visual side of our medium!

New Radio Theatre

New Radio Theatre is a weekly radio show that is broadcast on KCNR out of Redding, CA. They've run several of ARTC's recordings in the past, mostly our live material, and now they're hosting a friendly competition amongst the various radio theatres around the country!

Each writer could submit one or more radio plays to the contest and now the time has come to vote for the winners. ARTC is being represented by two of our newest and best writers with distinctly different styles.

Kelley S. Ceccato has submitted Sarabande for a Condemned Man, performed live at Dragon*Con 2011. (Hey, that's this podcast!)

Sketch MacQuinor has submitted The Game is Afoot! Game the First: The Adventure of the Phantom Chippendale, performed live at STEAMfest 2011, featured on the podcast on May 13, 2011.

Voting goes throughout the month of January and you can only vote once, so listen to the pieces and pick your favorite!

The Horseman of the Hollow
by Kelley S. Ceccato
Tickets: $10 in advance
$15 at the door

The big news this month is obviously our upcoming performance at the Academy Theatre of Kelley S. Ceccato's The Horseman of the Hollow.

This is being done in conjunction with the Post-Meridian Radio Players nationwide event, Sleepy Hollow: The Ride Across America. Along with radio theatres in Oklahoma and Washington, ARTC will be presenting its own unique take on the Washington Irving classic by having the famous adversary of Ichabod Crane travel from coast to coast, his story advancing in time at each stop along the way until, with his arrival in Seattle, he reaches modern day.

ARTC is proud to participate in this event highlighting the fact that audio drama is still alive and well in America and practiced by groups in all parts of the country.

The performance will be made available on a compilation CD later, but why wait? Catch it live! Buy your tickets here ($10 in advance, $15 at the door) or, if you don't live near the Atlanta area, catch the live streaming broadcast on Aberrant Radio!
