NEXT PODCAST
Just to let you know the next Podcast will be coming shortly.
Normally we would have posted on on Thursday or Friday, but we had plenty of things going on this last week - especially our most recent studio recording of CLIFF PROTON and the SEVEN DWARF ELEMENTS.
Unfortunately there will not be a stage performance of this Cliff Proton adventure. One of our cast members is moving out of the country, and we wanted / needed to explain his character's disappearance from the series... or wrap things up if we don't do another Cliff.
Eventually it will be available only on CD or on the web.
I can't imagine no more Cliff's - but, better safe than sorry.
NEXT PERFORMANCE
The next performance is planned for the end of May.
We plan to do "The Time Machine" and another short play or OTR recreation.
After that - August looks good for the next one.

Where are we?
We're still around - but in the shadows.
Director, Producer, Head writer and bottle washer - yours truly - have been involved in so many sound design projects - my head's spinning.
Since TRTC's last project - Alice in Wonderland, I've worked on sound for:
Watertower Theatre's "Wonderful Life", Contemporary Theatre's "SantaLand",
ICT's "Sherlock Holmes Last Case", Echo Theatre's "Nibroc trilogy", Rover Dramaworks' "Around the World in 80 days"
As I write this, I'm currently working on Slappy's Puppet Playhouse' "Charlotte's Web", ICT's "Heaven Can Wait", and Theatre Three's "Murder on the Nile"
If I had the time I'd dust off a script and organize a live performance or live recording just for the fun of it.
Maybe I'll have a break soon - and when I do, I'll post it here.
Meantime - I'm going to dust off the podcast so look for new episodes on that in the next month or so.
Thanks for checking in, and watch more radio!

Witness as he bravely travels the cosmos with Robot: his dedicated metal companion, and the universally renowned know-it-all: Doctor Heterodyne standing up for everything good and decent (and fixing anything they might have broken along the way).
This time, a mysterious goo (or jelly) is found to be seeping into our galaxy, eating up everything in it's path. It's Cliff's job to find out what's causing it, and how to stop it before it gets to Earth.
What will happen when these two destructive forces meet... will anything be left standing (or floating... or whatever things do in space)?
Find out in this future gripping futuristic adventure of the future!
