Lovecraft's Nightmares

Horror takes many forms.  From the startling to the macabre to the psychological, fear has drawn and driven mankind for centuries. 

When your own nightmares do not satisfy your craving for fear, come be with us as we explore Lovecraft's Nightmares and learn the true nature of cosmic horror.

Weekends in October.  Complete details here.

Dragon*Con

Lovecraft's Nightmares

Did we say Dragon*Con was our biggest show of the year? I suppose it is if you consider the convention as a single show. But what if ARTC did a different show every weekend for a month? That would be a nightmare for the producers and the tech staff (the actors think it's kind of fun).

But if we did it in October at the Academy Theatre...that would be Lovecraft's Nightmares.

We don't want to give away everything just yet (which is why the image is so small), but complete information will come in next month's newsletter. If you're an H. P. Lovecraft fan, this will be your month!

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 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!
