Lamplighter Theatre

One of the biggest challenges in producing an audio drama intended for radio is actually getting it on the airwaves. Thankfully, we have had interest in our project from radio stations before we even began. We knew that when we had a finished product, we had a place to put it. And for us, that is just more evidence that God is in this and that He is directing our steps according to His plans. Here is a brief note from Rick Snavely, CEO and Network Manager of Family Life Network in Bath, NY after receiving “Defy the Darkness” and the accompanying promotional materials:

Mark,

Wow – I’m impressed! That’s quite a promotional package that you put together. How far along are you with the video concept? Will you have a video for each audio story that you produce? It looks like your going full-speed ahead with multiple engines. I’m excited for you!

WOW! I wasn’t expecting to be able to publish a preview of what we’re working on quite this early. But here it is! As I mentioned in the previous post, our team was working feverishly to produce a five minute demo for a foundation who is meeting to discuss funding for Lamplighter Theatre. When I got into the office this morning, the first thing I heard from a co-worker was “Did you hear the audio yet?” Immediately I sat down and and listened to the demo… and it would be fruitless to try to explain to you in words what the experience was like. So without further ado, Lamplighter Theatre presents, Sir Malcom and the Missing Prince (Demo)!

Wow, that was quick! The first production of Lamplighter Theatre has completed the recording of all four episodes. Our producer, John Fornoff is bursting with excitement from the project! Here’s a short report of what he’s been experiencing:

Day 1

Mark, this is incredible…wait till you hear this…this is the greatest program I’ve ever produced!


Blessings ahead,

John

Day 2

Hello Mark,
We’re in the middle of Part 3. This cast has great chemistry–we definitely want to bring back many of them for future shows! 
Thank you for your prayers.


Blessings ahead,
John

Day 3

When I heard the part where Hugh stands before his father the King, tears came.
John

The audio will be available to purchase on May 15th, 2009 and will be broadcast nationally on Christian, and some secular, radio stations September 1st. Please be in prayer for our efforts to raise the funds necessary to continue producing these remarkable audio dramas.

Sneak Peak: We are going to be holding an essay contest for Defy the Darkness…Stay Tuned!
