TRTC Auditions March 4th

TRTC’s Next Auditions are for: Lost Ladies of Radio



Texas Radio Theater ventures back to radio’s Golden Age to recreate vintage episodes from three classic radio shows, each one led by an intriguing female character:
"Our Gal Sunday", "Easy Aces" and "Candy Matson, YUkon-2-8029"

Auditions will be held on Saturday March 4th. Contact us via email (PREFERRED) lgroebe@genericradio.com
or phone Larry at (214) 363-5651 if you wish to audition.

IN PERSON AUDITIONS:

SATURDAY March 4th starting at 10:00am

Arlington Museum of Art
201 West Main Street,
Arlington Texas

An appointment is necessary.
As you may know, radio theatre is unique. Although you will not be required to memorize a script, your talents must go far beyond the simple task of a dramatic reading. You will be expected to develop your character so that you have a clear image of how he or she fits into the story we are telling.
If you’re selected, you will be charged with the task of helping us paint an imaginary picture. Using words music and sounds, we must provide an environment into which the listener can enter through the power of imagination. Critical to our success is the use of sound effects. Unlike other forms of theatre, ours demands that actors understand and study the timing needed to blend in with the supporting sound effects.

HOT TEA and RADIO THEATRE

On Friday (2/17) our friends at the British Emporium of Grapevine will be providing HOT TEA for your chilly ears as we record our newest audio play.

Set in the far and distant future, Cliff Proton is a space ranger for the Earth Space Federation. Each episode he, his robot and Doctor Heterodyne save the galaxy from some kind of nasty villain. So far, he’s tackled The Creature from Quadrant Five, the curiously familiar space Vikings from Dimension Q and alternate versions of himself and his friends in (where else) an alternate universe.

Go to texasradiotheatre.com for all the info!

NOTE: Some have pointed out that pouring tea in your ears to warm them up is not recommended (even when using the finest grade of Oolong). Please ingest tea orally by using a mug, tea cup or 'beaker' as one might say in Britain. Also, while we're on the subject of tea drinking, never put a cup of water WITH a teabag in your microwave. You boil the water first, and then put the teabag in for 2 to 3 minutes. You may think this takes twice as long to make a cup of tea, but trust me, it's worth it. That is all, we hope to see you this weekend.

February Recording at AMA

The Texas Radio Theatre Company, in cooperation with the Arlington Museum of Art invite you to a recording of:



Cliff Proton and the Pan Dimensional Commissary
by Richard Frohlich

Set in the far and distant future (where everyone lives, eats and flies out of tubes), Cliff Proton is a space ranger for the Earth Space Federation. Each episode he, his robot and Doctor Heterodyne save the galaxy from some kind of nasty villain. So far, he’s tackled The Creature from Quadrant Five, the curiously familiar space Vikings from Dimension Q and alternate versions of himself and his friends in (where else) an alternate universe.

This time our heroes go up against a multi planetary organization that’s standardizing food service all across the galaxy... (the horror).

This play features the voice talents of: Jonathan Cooper, AJ Glendenning, David Grant, Larry Groebe, Jerri Hall and Pamela Heeth. Live sound effects by Bob White, Ken Raney and members of the cast.

Our shows are for all ages. This play will run under 80 minutes including one intermission. The performances will be recorded for a later broadcast on KNTU, Denton other affiliated stations.


Our adaptations and original audio plays are presented in much the same way as in radio's golden age. Actors with scripts read intomicrophones while a sound effects artist uses everything from soup cans to nut shells to create the "sound image" for each scene.Instead of only performing to unseen listeners over a radio, we bring the experience to a studio audience.
