Happy New Year's Eve Eve

Okay, partiers:  one more day until the New Year's Eve murder mystery radio show, "A Murder for Auld Lang Syne". We're working to get everything ready here for the live audience: tables, chairs, set-ups, etc.  But since we can only fit around 65 folks in the Nickel Manor (48 at tables, the rest in chairs alone), I suggest if you're coming, get here early.  We've got reservations for about 20 already! Tickets are $10 at the door only...first come-- first served.

Doors open at 6:00 PM (CST) and the broadcast/live stream begins at 7:00 PM (CST).

If listening in is your preference, there are 4 choices for the live broadcast:

• 93.5 FM Smooth Rock  [East Texas, USA]
• Facebook @ John Lamb
• Twitch  @ PART_501
• YouTube @ Nickel Manor

The last three will host the cast recorded so you can watch (or re-watch) starting at 11:00 PM so that the countdown at the end of the performance coincides with the actual New Year's countdown.  Cool, huh?

Coming on February 8, 2020 we'll be turning the place into a Comedy Club. Keep watching the Nickel Manor Facebook page and here for more details.

P.A.R.T. live radio theater streaming to a device near you

The reborn Palestine Area Radio Theater has another broadcast coming up for New Year's Eve, 2019 at 7:00 PM Central time.  We're doing an original work titled "A Murder For Auld Lang Syne".  It hearkens back a bit to the style of the 1930's detective movies and novels although it's set in modern day Texas.
There will also be an "encore presentation" starting at 11:00 PM streaming only (for now).

It will be broadcast live-

• on radio (Smooth Rock 93.5 fm) 
• with a studio audience (at 501 Avenue A, Palestine, TX)  

and live streamed over-

• Twitch (PART_501), 
• YouTube (we're having an issue with YouTube right now. TBA), and 
• FaceBook (John Lamb).  

This will unfortunately be the last broadcast over Smooth Rock 93.5 FM as they are being sold to a Houston Christian Talk Radio Ministry.  The local country station won't carry us (for now), so after this we may be only live streamed.  That will certainly change our advertising strategies.

Tune in, won't you?

"A Tuna Christmas" at Palestine Community Theatre

Done.  Over.  Off the boards.  Another one for the books...
Our Bubble's burst....The end of the line...Saya Nora...Twenty one skiddoo...

"A Tuna Christmas" at the Texas Theater in downtown Palestine, Texas was a joy to behold...finally.
Truthfully, I struggled with lines this time around, and as a consequence, so did my cast-mate, Gerry.
If you don't get the right cue line, it's hard to get the right response.  BUT in the end we got it.  The "Tuna Helpers" as we call our dresses, were phenomenal..

Attendance was good, with houses over 200 at times.  It was a pleasure here at the end of things. We were glad it was over and we could get back to our lives.  But we'll miss some of the 22 people we've been in the last few weeks.

Good show, wish I could recommend it, but it's gone.  Red, White, and Tuna anyone?
