Wishing Well

WISHING WELL - CRT player Barbara Dempsey-West is moving away from Boston to the great state of Pennsylvania, and as such, will no longer be available to appear with us. Barbara is perhaps best know to our listeners as Mrs. Jennings, the cook, in our series BEACON HILL. She will soon be heard as the hilarious "Ma Coppenhopper" in THE ADVENTURES OF SGT. BILLY & CORP. SAM which will be released this month. Barbara recorded with us for many years, and it's sad to lose such a great voice talent, but of course we wish her nothing but the best. Thanks for some great performances, Barbara! We'll miss you!

Updates

Lack of blog posts translates into "things are super busy at CRT."  We had three productions released over the summer, and we are preparing to release a few more. Currently in music scoring we have THE WAR OF THE ELEMENTALS and Charles Dickens' THE HOLLY TREE INN. In October we will be releasing the conclusion to POWDER RIVER Season 10, and in November we should see TICONDEROGA Season 2 Vol. 1. 

Scripts are being written for TICONDEROGA Season 3, as well as a new French and Indian War epic called KENTUCKY, based on a book by James Otis.
On the recording schedule we have NOGGLE STONES, a new fantasy production that promises to be a lot of fun as it is a great adventure story, and speaking of adventure, we plan to record SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON as well, and the mics will be on for the third season of TICONDEROGA which begins production next month.

Our next release will be THE ADVENTURES OF SGT. BILLY & CORP. SAM. This six episode comedy series stars Bill O'Brien, who co-starred for many years with Rex Trailer on the popular children's show "Boomtown," that enjoyed a twenty year run on WBZ TV in Boston. Bill is reunited with another Boomtown alumni, Sam Donato, for this fun and hilarious adventure that travels from Whiskey Flats to Twitty Badlands, and the final showdown at Rio Loco.

THE ADVENTURES OF SGT. BILLY & CORP. SAM is filled with some great banjo pluckin' tunes and lots of laughs for the entire family.  It will be released this month.

 

Our weekly blog is back after a summer break with a new episode every Monday. Jerry Robbins and J.T. Turner discuss all things CRT, and toss in a few other subjects as well from time to time. You can hear the blog free of charge on the CRT website at www.colonialradio.com

ZOMBIE'S ON THE HIGH SEAS! NEW RELEASE

Our latest production has just been released... DEAD AHEAD.

On a restless ocean, a group of weary survivors contemplate their grim fortune: What had started out as a fun little fishing trip soon turns into a nightmare of damnation, trapped on a floating prison. The continents have been hit by a plague that has turned humanity into living corpses - leaving our castaways at sea to fend for themselves! With provisions low, hope comes in the form of a luxury liner sailing into view on the horizon... All they needed to survive would be on board, but who among them has what it takes to find out what happened to its crew and passengers?

DEAD AHEAD TRAILER

POWDER RIVIER Season 11 WRAPS

This week was a milestone for our POWDER RIVER series, as it wrapped production on its 11th season, and recorded it's 150th episode!  Not bad for a show that was a summer replacement program for THE NEW DIBBLE SHOW with a 15 episode run. However once it went on the air the listeners wanted to hear more, thanks in part to the three episode arc that concluded the first season, and several month later we were back recording RETURN TO POWDER RIVER - planning on ending after our 15th episode. But, that didn't work out either, and here we are 11 years later still in production.
In celebration of our 150th episode, CRT would like to thank the cast and crew who have brought this show to life over the years.
