SEEKING SUBMISSIONS FOR TICKING CLOCK PRODUCTIONS’ 1st ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY – “HOLIDAY OF HORRORS”

Ticking Clock Productions, LLC. is bracing for its first winter, a season typically marked by festivities, warm drinks, and unremitting horrors laid bare by the sun’s diurnal retreat. Keeping such images in mind, we’ve decided to celebrate in an appropriate fashion.

On December 17th, TCP will broadcast (on the internet on our website) a live performance of your original works at the honorable Sam Brocato Salon. A live “radio” show, if you will, complete with professional actors, a foley table, and concise musical spectaculars!

Sounds good, huh? But there’s something missing. You. It was always you. I invite YOU to write and submit pieces for this evening of wonders.

Interested? Beside yourself with glee? This is what I need from you -->
