DRACULA ATTACKS THE BIG FISH!
This marks the second radio production by the Alpine Theatre Project. Last year they presented Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol live at the O'Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish. That production was aired on Montana Public Radio.
"I'm in love with this medium," said ATP Executive Director Luke Walrath. "It's an art form that is slowly making a comeback, and Dracula is a perfect play for it. It's filled with eerie music and terrifying sound effects."
Told mainly through a series of journal entries, Dracula tells the tale of the ageless vampire as he attempts to relocate from Transylvania to Victorian London. The relocation has a terrifying effect on all involved."
"The piece has almost a documentary feel to it at times," said ATP Artistic Director, Betsi Morrison, who also plays Mina Harker in the production. "It creates a truly chilling effect because of that. I like to think of it like a Victorian-era Blair Witch Project."
The production has been recorded and edited at the WhitefishRadio.com studio, helmed by The Big Fish's Ross Strauser who will also be the play's announcer. "One of the reasons we created Whitefishradio.com, was to bring quality entertainment back to radio, and it's a real treat to work with the professionals from Alpine Theatre Project. This is the first of many collaborations planned with ATP," said WhitefishRadio.com owner Ross Strauser.
Unlike traditional radio airings, this production will be available to listeners at any time through WhitefishRadio.com's "On Demand" feature. Listeners will be able to stream the program directly to their computers.
"ATP is committed to reaching out to a larger audience," said Walrath. "We are gaining an national reputation through our regular productions as well as special shows starring our Honorary Board members like John Lithgow and Olympia Dukakis. Broadcasting over the internet is a perfect way to let people all over the world know of what a vibrant community we have here in the Valley."
Dracula, starring Betsi Morrison, Nick Spear, Rebecca Spear, Luke Walrath, and David Ackroyd as Count Dracula, will air on Halloween and can be heard "On Demand" at www.WhitefishRadio.com. Information can be found by calling ATP at 862-7469 or WhitefishRadio.com at 862-5250, and also by visiting The Big Fish website.

What a Summer It Has Been!
It has been a fantastic first summer for us here at WhitefishRadio.com, and we'd like to thank all our listeners and sponsors for making our first months so successful. We appreciate each and everyone of you. If you like what you see and hear, tell a friend.
There is so much to catch up on, so let's start with our good friend, John Dunnigan. John is back LIVE! Yes, live in the studio this Thursday! He has returned from his summer fair tour and will be sharing new music from new artists he met on the road; and we are sure he will be telling many other stories you won't want to miss. John writes:
Greetings to all.
Hope you had a safe and smoke free summer?
We are not out of the woods yet!
But at least I can see across the street into my neighbors house..oops.
I had a very eventful summer playing all over the Northwest, opening and
playing with some very cool acts!
Saw old friends and made a ton of new ones.
Had a fishing license in four different states...but believe me the fish populations are the same when I leave as when I got there?
I will be back on the air LIVE this Thursday morning....where I will elaborate a bit more on the travels of a Whitefish guitar player
Thursday at 10 a.m.
Let's shift gears a bit, but stay with the entertainment theme. David Ackroyd has been with us all summer each Tuesday morning from 10 am to Noon MST. In the midst of his insanely busy summer, he managed to bring in special guests each week. If you missed any of the Lights! Camera! Ackroyd! shows, catch them on demand. What a phenomenal summer Alpine Theatre Project has had! There are still a few days left to see "Moonlight and Magnolias." The Big Fish went to all three plays and thoroughly enjoyed it all. David, Luke and Betsi together have brought something so fantastic to this community. Thank you ATP for entertaining us this summer. We are so fortunate to have you here in the Flathead Valley.
Summer has passed in the blink of an eye, as school gets underway. As another school year begins The Big Fish is gearing up to unveil our all new Flathead Valley Sports Page. Whitefishradio.com will be your connection for all the area school sports, scores, calendars, coach and player interviews, and more. So stay tuned...
Along with the new shcool year comes many fun fall events and activities...
Don't miss the "Back to School Bash" presented by Whitefish CARE and Whitefish School District on September 5th from 5-8pm at the Smith Soccer Fields. There will be activities for all ages including a BBQ, dunk tank, games and more. Visit their website here for more detailed information.
The Whitefish PTA is holding the 1st Annual Stumptown Scramble Golf Tournament at the Whitefish Lake Golf Course on Monday, September 10th. The Big Fish is proud to be involved with this event. We will have our very own team with Ross Strauser, John Dunnigan, Mike Hodges and Mike Dowaliby. Hopefully the "Old Pro" Mike Dowaliby will be able to make the others look like they know what they're doing on the course! Following the tournament, John Dunnigan will be performing during the BBQ. Also, team players will automatically be entered to win one of several prizes from The Big Fish. For more information about this funfilled Whitefish PTA event, to sign up, be a helper, or sponsor, visit their website here.

WhitefishRadio.com Takes Flight!
"Here are a few gigs basically covering the Flathead Valley from one dusty road construction end to the other! As a kid I loved giant rock filled dump trucks..that of course was before I started paying for broken windshields and headlights...
But the widening of Highway 93 as painful as it is, is a GOOD THING. Big Thunder as I'm writing this. Don't forget to check out the Whitefishradio.com site. My guest this week is...Jack Gladstone! Getting Jack on the show is as likely as Paris Hilton becoming a pre-school teacher on a reservation in South Dakota! He has been a great friend of mine for years and a great artist! You can also listen to 5 different shows that we have done. My guest have included Doug Rommerim, Rob Quist, Jerry Clemens, Tim Togerson, The Bad Larry's, Paris Hilton, Jay Diapllo, David Walburn, Shauney Haveman, Sonny King, Jarrod Grubb (Baseball guy), Deidre Heaton, Paula Dunk, Wayne Murphy & Steve Sikniecht (?). Love you Steve but man what a last name! Anyway it's a BLAST! And I get to play with them all. A few guest that we have waiting in the wings are...Christian Johnson and all his "buddies," Jerry Fletcher, Marc Morvia, Jerry Springer...and many more that we are not allowed to mention at this time. Hope to see you around this week...Every Wednesday at The Frontier Roadhouse, across from Woody's country store at 6:30pm (755-0111). Every Thursday at the Great Northern in Beautiful Downtown Whitefish, MT at 9:30 (862-2816), Saturday, June 9th and 16th 6:30pm, I will be at Meadowlake Golf Resort in Columbia Falls. A great place to eat and enjoy some tunes (892-8700). Drive careful and watch for fallen rocks!"
