Welcome again to the ARTC Podcast!  This month we bring you a piece we thought we had brought you a while back, but after going through the archives we discovered we'd overlooked it!  This piece is so good that we couldn't just let that slide, so here it is: Blue Hanukchristmas Carol by Sketch MacQuinor.

Our next live performance will be at the Academy Theatre where we will present our annual performance of An Atlanta Christmas, series conceived by Thomas E. Fuller, scripts by the various writers of the Atlanta Radio Theatre Company.

Show times are Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:30pm, December 11-19.

This is a FREE, pay-what-you-can show!  Donations are graciously accepted and 25% of all donations will go to our Partner in Imagination, the Center for the Visually Impaired!  Guarantee yourself a seat by pre-purchasing tickets online!

Come join us as we bring you the Magic of Christmas through the Magic of Radio now in its 11th consecutive year and an Atlanta tradition since 1996.  Told in a series of short, distinct vignettes, joined together by the image of a family gathered around the Christmas tree, exulting in memories that span from the earliest days of the tradition in Atlanta to present times. Designed to be modular, to expand, and to be interchangeable,An Atlanta Christmas is never the same show from year to year. If you’ve seen it before, see it again for the first time.  Contact us for a listing and detailed description of this year’s offerings.

Brad composed many of the themes for our serials including Rory Rammer, Space Marshal, The Brotherhood of Damn Sassy Mutants, Mildly Exciting Tales of Astonishment, and The Jane Handley-Page Show.  He also lent his talents to our feature-length studio works including The Passion of Frankenstein, The Menace From Earth, The Doom of the Mummy, and Solution Unsatisfactory to name but a few.

He performed live with us often.  If you ever heard ARTC live, there's an excellent chance you heard Brad.  If you heard us live more than once, it's a virtual certainty.

ARTC's next live performance will be at the Academy Theatre in Avondale Estates on October 23 and 24 where we will present The Island of Dr. Moreau by H. G. Wells, adapted for audio by Thomas E. Fuller.  Special musical guest Julie Gribble!

This performance also marks the first in our new initiative "Partners in Imagination" where we will explore the possibilities of a collaborative community.  Partners in Imagination seeks to channel the energies of multiple non-profits into common goals and raise awareness of various causes through the Magic of Radio.

We are also pleased to announce our first ever Kickstarter campaign.  Help us raise $3500 by Halloween to fund the purchase of new microphones and speakers, improving our quality and helping us to continue Advancing Adventures in Sound!

We made it!  100 episodes of ARTC's Podcast.  Y'know, we really need a catchier name for this thing.  If you have an idea for a great new name, send it on to podcast@artc.org.

But we digress.

For the 100th episode, we knew we had to bring out all the stops, come up with something so spectacular that it would blow everyone away and leave everyone talking about how we could possibly top it.  Unfortunately, we didn't get permission to use it, so we went for the next best thing (and set ourselves up for an awesome episode 200) and went with our Dragon*Con 2000 performance of Rory Rammer, Space Marshal: Queen of the Spaceways.

Not only is Rory Rammer one of our most popular and requested series, but in this episode the role of Rory Rammer is played by none other than Ted Raimi!  Joining him in this star-studded cast are Alexandra Tydings and Claire Stansfield!

If you're enjoying the podcast, be sure to tell your friends.  And tell us, too.  We're your friends, right?  So tell us you like it so we'll want to keep doing it!

Friday, September 3, 7:00pm

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.

We're entering into the offseason for ARTC now, taking a break from the stage to get back into the studio.  Full details about what we're recording and how we're progressing will be available via our newsletter, Breaking Radio Silence.  Sign up here!

You can also follow us on Twitter for faster action!

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?
