18 - An Atlanta Christmas, Episode 05

One last look at Christmas for the year...

Opening Music: An Old Atlanta Christmas, Alton Leonard.

USO Christmas, Thomas E. Fuller and performed by William Brown & Lou Brock.

Are You Lonely Tonight, written by Thomas E Fuller and Daniel Taylor, performed by Daniel & Clair Kiernan.

The Experts, by Ron N Butler featured the voices of Kelly Swilley, Lou Brock, and Daniel & Clair Kiernan. (Useless trivia: The Kiernans played characters with the same first names as those in Are You Lonely Tonight. But now they're actually Mr. & Mrs. Zabrinski.) My apologies to Hal Wiedeman who went uncredited in the podcast: He played the towtruck driver.

15 - An Atlanta Christmas - Episode 02

The Elves Strike Back.

<>

In addition to the plays of Thomas Fuller's Atlanta Christmas, the writers of ARTC have produced a number of shorts which provide a comic counterpoint. Think of this as the lighter side of Christmas.

All of these pieces are surreal (as if the entire concept of Santa Claus and the Northpole Workshop isn't). Some (all?) may be in questionable taste. One of these pieces will be performed in this years Christmas show program. There can be only one.
