CRT YEAR END REVIEW FOR 2009

It's been quite a year at CRT; perhaps the biggest change was leaving our publisher of 3 years, Blackstone Audio. :)!! I've only listed the recording dates; but suffice to say that every day our editors were hard at work, and scripts were being written at a furious rate!

In 2009 CRT produced:

12 Episodes of JARREM LEE - GHOST HUNTER. Written by Gareth Tilley, and produced by M.J. Cogburn, Seth Adam Sher, and Bryan Rothrock. Music by Jeffrey Gage.

24 Episodes of TICONDEROGA - Written by yours truly, and produced by Seth Adam Sher, music by Jeffrey Gage.

ZORRO AND THE PIRATE RAIDERS (Feature production) Written by yours truly with additional dialog by Deniz Cordell. Produced by Seth Adam Sher, Music by Jeffrey Gage.

3 Episodes of FREAKY FAIRY TALES (shorts) Written by Anastas Varinos, Produced by MJ Cogburn, music by Jeffrey Gage.

Our only CD release this year was BARRYMORE, by William Luce. This production will be re-released in 2010 in a larger market.
