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.

You can help make next year possible with your purchase of one of our CDs through www.artc.org or by download at Audible.com!

Let us know what you think at podcast@artc.org.

And, as we close the show, allow us to wish you Merry Christmas to all, and to y'all a good night.

There is Adventure in Sound!

Hey, just to let everyone know, I've been forced to go to 'moderated comments' which means that if anyone posts a comment I have to approve it before it will be made visible to the public.  Not a lot of folks are using the comments feature so far, but I hope they'll start.

You can blame your friendly neighborhood comment spammer for this change.  Sixteen messages all at once tipped the balance.

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.

Our next performance is our return to the Stage Door Players in Dunwoody on Saturday, December 22 at 8:00pm and Sunday, December 23 at 2:30pm.  Mark your calendars for our yearly celebration of our Family Christmas!

Welcome, welcome one and all to our family Christmas! To every family Christmas that ever was or ever will be! Behold the traditional Christmas tree weighted down with ornaments and decorations! Every five year old's Christmas morning writ large and come true!

Welcome also to another repeat in our podcasting series.  Some things are worth hearing again and this is a busy time of the year.

For one day a year, the Theater of the Mind gives way to a warm hearth and a bowl of gingerbread -- and when from the roof there arises a clatter, it's neither a faceless monster nor a Martian.

It's Christmas.

Christmas is memories.  For the next 4 podcasts, ARTC will be bringing you some of our favorite memories from our holiday programming, drawing heavily from Thomas E. Fuller's An Atlanta Christmas, but with a few other surprises along the way.

This week we bring you The Ultimate Christmas Pageant and O Tannenbaum by Thomas E. Fuller, and Some Assembly Required, by Daniel Taylor.

These were recorded live in 2003 at Stone Mountain Park's Fruitcake Festival.  Featured in the cast were the voices of Joyce Leigh, Daniel Taylor, Ron N. Butler, Neil Butler, Colin Butler, Daniel Kiernan, Clair Kiernan, Tamara Morton, Justin Ameri, Katie Brass, Megan Jackson, Juliana Finch, Sarah Taylor, Josh Adams, Jack Mayfield, and Caran Wilbanks. 

Foley sound effects were created by Lili, Deanna Ameri, and Sheila Ameri.  Music performed by Brad Weage.  Sound engineering by David Carter, Ray Spitz, and Elayna Little.  The show was produced and directed by William Alan Ritch.

Please join us for this year's production of An Atlanta Christmas at the Stage Door Players in Dunwoody.  As mentioned in the audio, we'll be there on December 23 at 2:30pm, but we'll also be there on December 22 at 8:00pm!

More information can be found at www.artc.org, and don't forget that our CDs of New Old-Time Radio make great gifts.

Back in 2004 ARTC performed an outdoor show at Stone Mountain Park for their Frontier Days festival.  We've brought you some of that material here in the podcast before and today we revisit it with Mike Langford's Blazing the Trail of Tears in two parts.  The timing of this story for this podcast is not lost on us.  It is not a proud part of Georgia or American history, but it is an important one.  We hope you enjoy the presentation.

Next week we will begin bringing you segments from An Atlanta Christmas, originally written by Thomas E. Fuller and continually expanded by a host of our other writers.

Christmas is expanding this year!
Our next live performances will be on Saturday and Sunday, December 8 and 9, at 2pm and 4pm at Memorial Hall inside Stone Mountain Park!

After that we return to the Stage Door Players in Dunwoody on Saturday, December 22 at 8:00pm and Sunday, December 23 at 2:30pm.  Mark your calendars for our yearly celebration of our Family Christmas!

This week we conclude our five part presentation of H. P. Lovecraft's The Shadow Over Innsmouth, adapted for audio by Thomas E. Fuller and Gregory Nicholl.  It features the voice of legendary writer Harlan Ellison, as well as anime voice actor Michael Brady.

We hope you've enjoyed the last several weeks of podcasting.  I've been including a wide selection of our adaptations.  Beginning next week we will return to our original material and in December we will present once again selections from Thomas E. Fuller's An Atlanta Christmas...along with a few other seasonal favorites from our own in-house writers.

Our next live performances will be on Saturday, December 22 at 8:00pm and Sunday, December 23 at 2:30pm at the Stage Door Players in Dunwoody.  Mark your calendars for our annual presentation of Thomas E. Fuller's An Atlanta Christmas.
