Looking for an extra squeal of delight this horror season?
May we recommend the amazing Halloween Tree from Colonial Radio Theatre. Not only is it Bradbury approved, it’s the best adaptation of this classic tale.
The dramatization is also a winner in the stores showing up as the number one drama sold of Bradbury’s work in Amazon. Well done CRT!
And hey, while you’re there, pick up a couple more of their adaptations too. Halloween is just around the corner!
Jerry Robbins from Colonial Radio Theatre rounds up the incredible output out of CRT in the year of 2008.
Robbins has been doing audio drama with CRT for well over a decade, that’s before the Internet and certainly before the idea of RSS and Podcasting was even an inkling in the minds of technology gurus. While folks were bemoaning the loss of audio drama from the Golden and Silver days, Mr. Robbins was hiking cassette tapes of his own productions to different companies.
There’s been an ugly rumour that those who sell their wares don’t make Audio Drama out of love. Many of us owe a thanks to those companies and individuals that kept the candle flickering before our recent renaissance.
And if there’s any question about passion in Audio Drama today, consider the list that Colonial Theatre worked on this year past… and let it inspire all of us to do more for 2009!
