Pawn Sacrifice

A radio play completed using Zoom meetings during the pandemic of 2020. Features the acting talents of students and professionals in the Atlanta, GA area. The story is set many thousands of years in the future. A young mother explains to her daughter why she is said to have "two fathers" and how the colony ship survived its encounter with the dreaded Galactic Fellowship. The voices for Gana and Cortana were generated through voice-modification software. The video of the recording sessions is available here: https://youtu.be/a6XLm4zyVtk CASTGana/Nin-Kee San: Katie Ivey (resumes.actorsaccess.com/katieivey) Ensign Beam/Ahn-Quin Matta: Connor Hammond Ortho: Jonathan Vaughn (jonwvaughn96@gmail.com) Captain Teal: Justin Williams (jwilliams24@tiger.brenau.edu) Sister E: Elizabeth Chappelle Elevator Assistant: Alison Reeger Cook Cortana: Anthony Birch Written, produced and directed by Anthony Birch, Ph.D. MUSIC"Metre - Sand Dweller" by Nul Tiel Records https://soundcloud.com/user-106373083/metre-sand-dweller "Sleep Music" by Luke Martin https://soundcloud.com/luke-martin-composer "Waiting for the Light" by Electric Skky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6UIyTVfGws SOUNDSWind chimes (CC 3.0) by CGEffex https://freesound.org/people/CGEffex/sounds/96643/ Additional sounds from freesound.org

Orfeo

In 2055, New York City has been remade. Holobots - holographic projections - roam the streets, in many cases nearly indistinguishable from real human beings. The holobots are marketing tools owned by Kingore, CEO of Holobots, Inc., the megacorporation seeking to produce the most realistic holobots. The genius behind Kingore's efforts is programmer Freddie C, whose quest for holobot realism has created fame that threatens to eclipse that of his employer. But something has gone wrong in Freddie's quest. Stunned, alone, and confused he only knows he must find Lucinda, the light of his life.
