VINCENTENNIAL and CRT

This coming week marks the Vincentennial Celebration in St.Louis celebrating the birthday of the great Vincent Price on May 27th. As I have blogged here many times, CRT has partnered with Bluewater Productions to adapt their comic book series VINCENT PRICE PRESENTS as half hour radio episodes. Only two have been broadcast to date (on Halloween) and next week we will be broadcasting seven episodes on our Sirius XM show to take part in the Vincentennial! Sirius XM Radio Classics will be broadcasting many of Mr. Prices' radio appearances over the years.

In CRT's VINCENT PRICE PRESENTS we do not imitate him, nor try to. We do not use his voice with fancy editing. Instead, we are dramatizing the stories from the comics and we try and capture the mood and feel of his movies. Vincent's daughter, Victoria Price, appears on our CD Release in an exclusive interview with Jordan Rich. She will also be appearing on his weekend radio show on WBZ. I'll post details as soon as I get them.

Here is the line up for our Sirius XM Broadcast next week.

MON. MAY 23: THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES - The Deadly Comedy
TUE. MAY 24: CANUS
WED. MAY 25: ROAD RAGE
THU. MAY 26: WITCHFINDER
*THUR. EVE. MAY 26 7PM: FADE AWAY
RUE THE DAY
FRI. MAY 27: THE TINGLERS

Our new CD, VINCENT PRICE PRESENTS Vol.1 will be released June 7th on Amazon

VINCENT PRICE PRESENTS Vol. 2 will be released Oct. 11th.

CRT on FACEBOOK

We got a message from FACE (lets not leave well enough alone because we have to impress our bosses and make constant changes)BOOK that our Colonial Radio page was scheduled to be archived, and that all the members would be lost. We have close to 350 members - and if we just "updated to the new groups" look, they would need to join again ..... and in three years the same thing will probably happen.

We opted instead to create a fan page. Hopefully this will last longer. Please join us there!

After six years on XM 163, the entire station is making a move tonight at midnight, when we will now be heard on Ch. 80. For the first time, we will be on the exact same station on Sirius.

The Colonial Radio Theatre is heard six days a week, and this summer we will broadcast some special presentations - most notably LOGAN'S RUN - LAST DAY and also RAY BRADBURY'S THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES as a six episode mini series.

LOGAN'S RUN - LAST DAY Trailer

We posted a trailer on the website for the upcoming release of WILLIAM F. NOLAN'S LOGAN'S RUN - LAST DAY.

HEAR THE TRAILER

GET READY TO RUN

I just heard our completed production of WILLIAM F. NOLAN'S LOGAN RUN - LAST DAY this afternoon. This is one exciting show! The script by Paul J. Salamoff is fantastic and without question this is one of our fastest moving productions, with the average scene lasting about 3 minutes. It's a roller coaster ride. For those who are not familiar with the story,

It’s the 23rd Century — at age 21 your life is over.

Logan-6 has been trained to kill. Born and bred from conception to be the best of the best. His time is short, but before his life ends he’s got one final mission — find and destroy Sanctuary, a fabled haven for those who chose to defy the system.

When Logan meets and falls in love with Jessica, he begins to question the very system he has sworn to protect. Soon they are both running for their lives.

It's a great book by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson CHECK IT OUT ON WIKIPEDIA.

Paul Salamoff wrote the script that we used, which is also the script used to create the comic book released by Bluewater Productions. Bluewater and CRT partnered on this audio presentation.

The cast is headed by Tom Berry as Logan 6, Kate DeSisto as Jessica 6, and J.T. Turner as Ballard. Joe Caliendo Jr. co-stars as Francis 7, Deniz Cordell is Gant 5, and in supporting roles you'll hear Joseph Zamparelli as The Warden, yours truly as Whale, Mark Thurner as Titus-9, and Isaac Bean as Charming Billy. Also in the cast are Kerry Donovan, Justin O'Brien, Catherine Benjamin, Amy Sheridan, Andrew Monroe, Noah Greenstein, Lucas Callahan, Heather Colter, and David Smith.

Jeffrey Gage composed the score, and the production was masterfully produced by Seth Adam Sher (Zorro and the Pirate Raiders, Zorro Rides Again, The Martian Chronicles).

LOGAN'S RUN - LAST DAY is based on the original book, Logan's Run, by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson, and also Logan's World and Logan's Search, by William F. Nolan.

Everyone at CRT is very excited about this production! It will be released on CD and Audio Download by Brilliance Audio on Tue. July 5th. You can pre-order it HERE

On Oct 11th we'll be releasing our production of YANKEE CLIPPER AND THE ADVENTURE OF THE GOLDEN SPHINX. Recorded in the spring of 2004, it was our second serial, in 15 chapters, produced immediately after POWDER RIVER (which was only supposed to be 15 episodes total). Although it is now seven years old, it has only been available as a download on three sites, as well as several airings over the past six years on our Sirius XM Radio broadcast.
JT Turner and Joseph Zamparelli Jr. head the cast which includes Jim Murphy, Sam Donato, Jeremy Benson, James Turner, Diane Capen, Lincoln Clarke, and Shane Clarke.
