Recording at CRT will go on hiatus for three and a half months, resuming in late April (for the first time in 19 years we have decided to stop playing Russian Roulette with recording dates and snow storms) - but in that time new scripts are bring written, we're editing productions, releasing new ones, and we're scoring music.

NEW RELEASE! The conclusion of Flint Dille's and David Marconi's AGENT 13 AND THE INVISILBLE EMPIRE!

DEAD AHEAD is DEAD AHEAD

First day of our upcoming Zombie Horror show DEAD AHEAD is in the can! This one is going to be quite frightening.... there were a couple of scenes tonight that were chilling (what I mean is, it's not often that things get scary watching the actors at the microphones) - I can only imagine how terrifying they will be once music and sound effects are added. The cast just knocked this one outta the park... some powerful performances.
I never thought we would do a Zombie feature - but being trapped with a thousand Zombies on an Ocean Liner out at sea was pretty hard to turn down. Can't wait for you all to hear it!! We are recording till Oct. 28th, and the release is planned for March. - JR

THE STAR ANGEL - A New Musical

Jeff Gage and I have been re-working our musical THE STAR ANGEL for the stage. Here is a song from the show that "Sean" sings with "Pockets" - a tramp clown ornament (Sean finds himself with his sister ON the tree this particular Christmas Eve... long story). Sean is having a rough Christmas - the first since the death of his father. That's where the song comes in... as Sean sees an old car ornament that was his dads favorite. Will Fafard sings the role of Sean, and yours truly is filling in for Pockets until we can find someone good. Keep your fingers crossed that we get this on the stage for Christmas, 2015!

TICONDEROGA Continues

Since its release in 2008, and re-release by Brilliance Audio in 2012, TICONDEROGA has become one of our most popular titles. Set in 1758 during the French and Indian War, the production featured fictional characters against the backdrop of actual events - including the epic battle of Fort Carillon (complete with bagpipes and drums).  We have received numerous requests to continue the story, which was released as a 9 hour audio drama feature.
We have listened - and we are going to produce a new series based on the characters we created. TICONDEROGA - The Series, will start at the same place the feature left us.Season 1 will have 12 half hour episodes.

Production begins Sept. 29th at CRT.
