|
Meet Salmon Warzynski, your typical American twenty-something, back in the States after that standard, middle-class, post-graduation trek through Europe.
He never meant to hurt anybody. He only wanted to throw away his cigarette butt. He didn't want to litter. He had no idea what was in that trash can, and he certainly didn't think it would explode, destroying Manhattan's Fulton Street Train Terminal in the process. But it did. Now, with the NYPD, the CIA, the FBI, the mainstream media, and a band of homegrown terrorists all scrambling to catch him, Salmon must run--run for his life...

Now, where we differ from traditional readings and reinactments of the book, is that in the original novel the voices, personalities, and experiences of the characters are not always in correct calendar order. They are revealed as they perceive the events. This way the listener is able to experience the the journal entries of that date in 'realtime'. |

The Rogue Planet missed Earth by a few thousand kilometers and quickly receded into the blackness of space.
The Sleepers, the smartest form of biological life ever encountered, showed no interest in Earth and shunned all communication, even with GAIA. The massive object deflected Earth inward, toward the Sun. Earth’s new orbit is elliptical - a colossal shock for every creature. For those who cling to life, the new normal means long dismal winters, punctuated by short summers of searing heat. Worst of all, the new orbit is chaotic, because it gets too close to Venus. All of humanity is anxiously looking at GAIA to restore certainty, and with it, hope. |

Mary From Michigan
Cast list:
SAG/AFTRA MEMBERS: Katherine Banks Loren Bass John Siebert Terry Heck NON-MEMBERS: Eva Rosenwald Matthew Webb Ted Gibson David Zinn Information on the company: The Empire Podcasting Service is devoted to the revival of the art of radio drama. We are based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. |
Mary from Michigan is a revival of an old form: the radio soap opera. Set in present-day Michigan and considering present-day issues, Mary from Michigan moves the radio soap into a contemporary space while retaining the genre's most addictive features – compelling characters and an ongoing story full of drama, intrigue, and continual cliffhangers. The show is a 12-to-15-minute podcast posted at noon every weekday; we record a week's worth of shows at once – five shows – during a single day of rehearsal and performance, with the finished programs being released one at a time, one a day, over the course of the week. We record every episode live in a single take and use live sound effects as much as possible (doors, footsteps, train bells, etc.), as the old dramas did, and we retain those small artifacts that are a natural byproduct of our live performance – the occasional minor flub or the sound of script pages being manipulated. The show's run is anticipated to be several hundred episodes, with a coherent story arc that explores, among other things, deep human history and the ancient origin of our understanding of evil.
The original radio soaps occupied people's lives – women's lives, by and large – by keeping them company during their day's labors. We would hope to function in more or less the same way, though now we might imagine ourselves accompanying our listeners of whatever gender on their commute or on the elliptical machine. Our characters and storylines are diverse, relatable, distinct, and surprising. We use the soap opera's charms – unlikely coincidences, evil twins, wicked deeds, brave stoicism in the face of extreme hardship – but bend the stories toward realism as possible. Our aim is to make the stories at once fun to listen to and meaningful. And most crucially: we are not being ironic. We are not mocking or sending up the form. We are participating in it. We are giving people something they can listen to with actual fondness and enthusiasm even as our storylines become (sometimes) outlandish and even if the form itself is (sort of) inherently silly. But we treat our people and their problems seriously, and with care. We tell a good story honestly. Half of the current cast are SAG/AFTRA members; all our actors have significant experience and are paid for their performances. Bios and episode summaries are below. Mary from Michigan is produced by The Empire Podcasting System, LLC. |

Larry the O - everything you hear (and a few things you might not) "The Incident" is an excerpt from the second episode of the sonic storytelling show "Ears Hear Now." (The first episode was a platinum selection at the 2017 HEAR Now Festival.) It tells the true story of myu near-death experience from a bizarre car crash in 2013. "Ears Hear Now" differs from other storytelling shows in applying cinematic music and sound design scoring techniques to storytelling. The show explores new compositional methods in which the text and score are conceived and executed simultaneously and are highly interactive. The show is created, performed, and produced by the O single-handedly. It's a lot of work. Information on the company: Larry the O is a musician and sound artist with experience creating, editing, and mixing sound and music for album, TV, film, video games, live performance, and industrial sound design, through his company, Toys In the Attic. After more than 35 years working for industry-leading studios and companies such as Lexicon, LucasArts Entertainment, Electronic Arts, Meyer Sound and others, the O graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2015 (having started college 41 years earlier!) with a degree in Music Production, Summa Cum Laude. |

Myself. Several character multilogue within the story. This is a story adapted from The Uncommercial Traveler by Charles Dickens -- a story he recollected his nanny telling him that scared him mightily as a child, but here recreates with humor as an adult. Information on the company: In a nutshell, I love telling stories, especially those of Dickens and especially live. I also have a multilogue sample from A Christmas Carol, the scene where the den of thieves is dividing up the spoils from the newly dead Scrooge's bed chamber. But i thought that this particular story, unlike the Carol, might be more novel. I have performed a 2 hour one-man version of the Carol and would love doing either of these pieces live, let alone hearing them aired. |

Cast list:
Antigone — Margaux Williamson Ismene, sister of Antigone — Naomi Skwarna Kreon, king of Thebes — Jon McCurley Haimon, son of Kreon and Eurydike — Tomos Lewis Eurydike, wife of Kreon, mother of Haimon — Aliya Pabani Teiresias, blind prophet of Thebes, led by a boy — Mide Akerewusi Guard — Braden Labonté Messenger — Letticia Cosbert Chorus of old Theban men — Morehshin Allahyari, Edwina Attlee, Mathura Umachandran Nick - (a mute part, always onstage, who measures things) Narrator — Karie Liao Antigonick is an experimental translation/adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone by Anne Carson. I produced and directed this radio play for The Organist Podcast, hosted by KCRW. The entire episode is here: https://www.kcrw.com/news-culture/shows/the-organist/antigonick With this audio adaptation, I wanted to stay as true to the contemporary feeling of the text as I could. The play is Antigonick in full, including Anne Carson’s letter The Task of the Translator of Antigone that she reads when she stages the work. Antigonick is much more than just a direct translation of Sophocles’ Antigone. Although Carson pays very close attention to the original Greek, in Antigonick, she also creates a strange new world. She somehow takes the original Sophoclean play, along with its reception history from Hegel, to Beckett, to Butler and compresses thousands of years down into a few dozen pages. Just before the play begins, Antigone’s two brothers have killed each other, one was fighting for the state and one was fighting against the state. The king, Kreon, makes a law that you can’t bury a traitor of the state and this sets up the tension of the play because it’s necessary for Antigone to bury her brother according to the gods of her house -- if she doesn’t her family’s life will be in danger. Antigone is engaged to Kreon’s son Haimon. She defies Kreon’s law, buries her brother and as a result she is sentenced to death by Kreon. |

This project was an attempt to start a conversation.
