I've only done this once before, (I think it was a Rod Renegade show the first time... but) our January show will need to be 'repositioned' to a new month for recording.
Therefore, there will be no auditions on December 30th, and nothing new from the TRTC in the first month of 07.
Nothing bad, just too much to do - between sound design with three other theatre groups - family obligations and all sorts of other junk - I'm not going to have the time to devote to R.Renegade that he deserves.
Cliff Proton is next in the chamber -
Auditions late January.

dates wrong?
Although we were broadcast in SF... I may have been wrong about the actual dates - and the event may have occurred a day prior to the announcment.
so it goes.
At least we were on the air by the bay...

Next show at Theatre Three
At Theatre Three see:
Glorious! by Peter Quilter
the Southwest premiere of the hilarious new London biographical comedy by Peter Quilter
November 9 — December 10
American Florence Foster Jenkins seems hard to think of as an underdog. She was astonishingly rich with incredibly loyal friends. But she dreamed of being acclaimed as the world's finest "pure coloratura". Alas, she lacked any talent whatsoever and was totally untrained; a fatal combination that caused those who heard her to explode in laughter and label her "hog calleratura" and the "diva of din". Inspired by her riotous recordings of the '50's, British playwright Peter Quilter hilariously recounts her life and her fabled assault on Mozart in Carnegie Hall.
Don't miss this if you can help it.
I mention it, because I had a little something to do with the sound design. - Also, remember that TRTC's Sherlock Holmes play opens this weekend.

Once in a blue moon.
I actually received more legitimate messages than spam today!!!!
TRTC is in the process of signing on to an email service that will hopefully prevent us from being labeled as SPAMMERS. (something anyone who does a do-it-yourself email newsletter should think about).
Because of this move - I've sent out one more email to our entire list... and this morning, my inbox was filled with replies from people who want to be on the new service. It dwarfed the ads for body part enhancement and HGH supplements by at least 10 to 1
WOW!
It's also a different feeling to get possitive feedback like that.

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.

Another performance - Oct 2nd
HECATE HILL: the audio play
by Bill Fountain
Monday October 2nd at 7:30pm
Arlington Museum of Art
201 West Main Street
Arlington, Texas 76010
We're recording the voice-over for Hecate Hill. This will be a bit more like readers theatre than what we normally do. We're hoping to use this recording to finish an audio play based on a frightening one act play from author Bill Fountain.
We'll begin recording at 7:30pm on Monday October 2nd at the Arlington Museum of Art. More information will be on our website shortly.
Texas Radio Theater Company proudly presents a world premiere production written by local playwright Bill Fountain and directed by local director Bob White!
THE STORY: A group of cycling friends meet up for a reunion (and Bigfoot hunt) in a remote cabin in Southern Oklahoma. At the same time, not too far away, a group of hunters do the impossible and kill one of the creatures. Suddenly, not only does the world find out that the creatures really do exist, but they don't take kindly to one of their own being killed. An electromagnetic pulse shuts down the power all over the planet as our world is invaded by armies of angry creatures.
Meanwhile, out in the dark woods, a few friends fight to survive the night. Welcome back to the bottom of the food chain.
But is any of it really happening? Will the friends survive to find out the truth about Hecate Hill?
FACT OR FICTION? A recent rash of Bigfoot sightings and reports on the news all taking place in Oklahoma and Texas and within 50 miles of where Fountain set his fictional play? Life imitates art?
THE LOWDOWN: “HECATE HILL” promises to be an interesting afternoon of original radio theater. A One Act play, suitable for general audiences, about what happens when the things that go bump in the night decide to step out of the darkness. An incredible cast of actors from all over North Texas assembling for this radio drama experience!

Sound Design at Theatre Three
In between all the other stuff I'm doing - I hope you're able to see 'Vieux Carre' at Theatre Three.
It's an excellent show - and permit me (as a sound designer) to say that it's one of the more interesting sound designs I've done lately - it's more than just police sirens and musical scene transitions - it's like an audio-gumbo of underscored emotion, subtlety... and a few 'push you back into your seat' cues to keep it all 'Nawlins'.
At least that's what I was hoping for. Check it out:

Technology
I'm getting kind of fed up with technology.
Apparently enough people who signed up to get email updates from Texas Radio Theatre - decided to claim we were spamming them rather than ask to be removed from the list.
So we're going to have to stop sending out email updates until we can sort out what we ought to do. Probably we'll go to Constant Contact... but still, I'm not sure how to weed out the folks who don't want to get our updates for shows, auditions, podcasts and other junk.
Man... to think that someone confused a group that's dedicated to expanding your mind with some sleezy weasel asking you if you wanted to expand something else.
So, in the meantime: Check here... our webpage ... and our myspace account for updates!!!!

The Whisper: September 15, 16 and 23rd
The Texas Radio Theatre Company, in cooperation with the Arlington Museum of Art invite you to a recording of:
THE WHISPER:
Some Things are Better Left Undead
an audioplay by Richard Frohlich performed and recorded on stage
======== FRIDAY EVENING - PREVIEW ========
September 15th, 2006 at 7:30pm
Arlington Museum of Art
201 W. Main Street Arlington, TX 76010
817-275-4600
www.arlingtonmuseum.org
Suggested ticket price at the door is $5.00
======== TWO SATURDAY EVENINGS in Dallas ========
September 16th & September 23rd at 8:15pm
Dallas Hub Theatre
2809 Canton Street. / Dallas, TX 75226
Box Office: 214.749.7010
http://www.dallashubtheater.org/
Tickets: $15 to $20
We plan to broadcast this recording in October on KNTU.
The Whisper is an action-mystery audio play with a full cast and sound effects. This episode is written and directed by Richard Frohlich and features the voice talents of: David DeFalco, Jerri Hall, Richard Milla, Kelly Scott, and Bob White.
Our shows are typically suited for all ages. The play and accompanying shorts will run under 90 minutes including one intermission (depending on the venue).
The Story:
The Whisper is Kendra King, a history professor at Ivy University. She uses a mysterious ability to leave the physical boundaries of her own body to transform herself into an unseen and powerful threat against injustice, darkness and evil.
Her identity as the Whisper is known only to Conrad Gallagher – a family friend who, since accidentally learning her secret, constantly tries to assist her as her "side-kick".
In this episode she meets the spirit of Herbert Cartwright who, in an attempt to avoid legal punishment, is undergoing a procedure designed to fake and confirm his own death. The Whisper would normally attempt to expose him, however due to their unusual meeting, he may have discovered her true identity in an adventure designed to stimulate your imagination.
Our adaptations and original audio plays are presented in much the same way as in radio's golden age. Actors with scripts read into microphones while a sound effects artist uses everything from soup cans to nut shells to create the "sound image" for each scene. We take this experience out of the radio, CD or ipod and bring it to you on stage.

Flummoxed
Well, maybe I'm not THAT flummoxed.
Only about one thing.
I tried to upload a new audio play to myspace and it's PENDING and still pending after much of a day or so. I know it says to wait, but the last few things I uploaded only took 5 minutes to get on line. I already deleted it once and uploaded it again - but I get the same thing.
At least our new podcast worked ok at http://texasradio.libsyn.com/
Go there if you want to hear the final part of our first Cliff Proton adventure.
Also, I was a little annoyed that I couldn't put all the audio theater links in my top friends list - so, at the risk of it getting way too crazy I created a new list just for them in the profile area. (see below)
Also we're ready to start choosing the cast of the Whisper this weekend, and we start rehearsals after LaborDay. Two new shows were added in Dallas too. If all goes well, the plan is to put this episode of the Whisper on the air for Halloween.
So much for news and updates - if you see a new Jack Hardcastle on our myspace player - you'll know it worked.
The audio theatre list on myspace looks something like this - but aligned better (it should be fully functional here too)

Streaming Audio on Myspace
Lately I've noticed several other modern audio dramatists on myspace, and I thought - why not us?
Well... why not? Especially since we're not broadcasting weekly shows at the moment.
(We might have some holiday broadcast specials coming up... more on that later)
Right now I'm talking about myspace.
We've currently got the first episode of both the latest Cliff Proton and the latest Colonel Nickels on line here:

More stuff will be uploaded to our libsyn podcasting site as well, so keep your ipods open.

KNTU broadcasts on hold.
I'm sad to say that at this time (first week of August 2006) our weekly broadcasts on KNTU are on hold.
The station is looking to expand it's jazz programming for Sunday - and there's no room in the current schedule for our program. In the next few months, we're hoping that we might have the opportunity to broadcast on a holiday or special event.
If you desire, you can direct any comments to KNTU's general email at: kntu@unt.edu
More news as it comes in.

(additional performances to be announced)

Headshots are optional. For more information please visit our audition page: http://www.texasradiotheatre.com/html/Auditions.htm
Casting for at least 3 men and 2 women playing multiple roles. We are also looking for people interested in sound effects and other areas of production.
The Whisper/Kendra King - (30s) history professor at Ivy University with a unique ability to fight corruption and right wrongs.
Conrad Gallagher - (20s)nerdy wanna-be Super Hero sidekick, knows Kendra’s secret and helps her whether she likes it or not.
Mr. Herbert Cartwright (50s)- a man who attempts to escape the evil he’s done by faking his death.
Other cast to be posted. Some characters to be doubled with main characters
Weekly broadcasts on KNTU are temporarily on hold. In the meantime we will try to beef up our podcasts.
SYNOPSIS
An action-mystery audio play with a full cast and sound effects. Kedra King, a history professor at Ivy University, uses a remarkable ability to leave her physical body becoming The Whisper: an unseen and powerful threat to criminals and lawbreakers. In this episode she meets the spirit of Herbert Cartwright as he’s undergoing a procedure that would fake and confirm his own death. Normally, the Whisper would attempt to expose him, however due to their unusual meeting, he may now know her true identity. An adventure designed to stimulate your imagination.
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.

Computer HELL
The lack of posts have been directly due to computer problems.
Like bricks of nitroglycerin arranged in a dominos-line fashion... or a group of mountain climbers all tied together at the waist, as Otto, the heaviest mountain climber in the world slips and falls. At that instant the others are waving at one another. One moment: a smile on their faces, the next: their hands wildly grasping at nothing more solid than mountain air as each are yanked one by one, off the edge aided by the impressive effect gravity has on Otto.
One after another my computer systems each suffered a completly unrelated but equally devistating blow.
The worst?
I was at Theatre Three two days ago, and my notebook computer - which has become filled with at least 4 unique and sizable projects suddenly had a stroke.
The 4 unique and sizable projects were stored on the notebook and only on the notebook, because I hadn't quite finished stablizing the other two systems and back up drives.
I would have started to spool off the work this week after "ALL ABOUT BETTE" opens... but that was not to be. Thankfully "ALL ABOUT BETTE" has all their sounds, and the show will be amazing. SEE IT!
Worst of all - I completely lost all recordings and effect resources to "LUNAR OUTPOST OMEGA".
Gone.
Whoever was there when we performed it, was a witness to a singular and unique event.
Sad. But I move on... I must.
Someday I might have the cash to extract the data from my little hard drive, but for now I have to say good by to it... Goodbye data.
And the moral of the story.
Back up your data early and often. Do it tonight if you haven't in a while.

Jack Hardcastle meets his own "Da Vinci Code" (Podcast)
We've finally posted another podcast... That's three of them in total!!!
(At this rate we'll have our whole catalog on line by September 2020...)
Anyhow, you will find our newest podcast on the Radio Memories Network here: http://channel3.radiomemories.libsyn.com/
Jack Hardcastle and the case of the Sacred Cold Cream
It featured the voice talents of: Alexandra Boyd Rodgers, Marlene Dooley, Jesse Griffith, Clark Hackney, Katherine Johnson, Bob White and Ken Raney. Live sound effects were performed by Angie Payne and Jennifer Parson. It runs just under 30 minutes.
Jack Hardcastle is a hard-boiled, gritty cosmetics salesman who owns a shop that's open 24 hours. He savagely provides health and beauty aids to a city that pretends it doesn't care.
In this episode, recorded February 2005, Jack finds himself in the middle of a twisty turny murdery mystery surrounding a sacred cold cream and the supernatural powers it might have. The cream is rumored to have been Marie Antoinette's, and is kept in a "grail"... and Jack is framed for a murder... then he's rescued from the police by a woman... and they both have to find out if the cold cream really has an age reversing formula... sound familiar?
Sure it does...
So check out our courageous attempt at a "lifeless adaptation that reveals the flaws of its source"... it's all in good fun.
Enjoy.

TRTC Auditions March 4th
TRTC’s Next Auditions are for: Lost Ladies of Radio

"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

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 adaptations and original audio plays are presented in much the same way as in radio's golden age.

We plan to broadcast this recording in March. Click Here to see our complete performance schedule.
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.

Sherlock Holmes episodes out of order -
There was a little snafu with this week's show on KNTU-FM. As you've probably guessed, we do not engineer the shows live - but send our programs up to the station ahead of time.
I tuned in thinking I would hear episode 2 of The Ambercrombie Forgery... but I heard episode 3 instead. These things happen.
They will air episdode 2 this coming weekend (1/29) , and then follow it by a repeat of episode 3 (2/5). That just means that Decoder Ring Theatre gets bonus air-time.
So if you tuned in and wondered where episode 2 went... it's this week. Not quite as critical as missing an episode of LOST... but still not what we planned to do.
