Meet Alan Cumming
Scottish-American actor Alan Cumming has dazzled audiences on stage and on the screen for years,
but with his boundless energy and lilting brogue, he was a natural fit as an audiobook narrator.

Break out your character shoes, grab your sheet music, and hop on the next flight to Newark, New Jersey, because audition day is here at the most prestigious performing arts high school in the world: Newark Airport High! This year, four first-year students—Maya, Evelyn, Bryce, and Darren—are determined to make their mark by being cast in the mainstage show Les Disposablés (or Les Dis for short, because who has time for all those syllables when you're racing to dance class?). But standing between them and center stage is a formidable force: Mr. Jeremy, this year's mainstage director.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Historia24
For this story, Emmy award winning actor and creative renaissance man, Alan Cumming, brings us the tale of The Swan Prince's Lantern. In a quiet glen hidden from time, a swan prince lights his lantern each night, casting soft golden light across the reeds and reflecting pools. As moonlight ripples on the water and gentle wings stir the mist, the prince recalls the stories of stars, wishes, and the spell that gave him his form. A magical fable told in whispers, where light and love linger on the edge of dreams.

Ah, remember ye olde days when the family would gather around the giant Philco radio and listen to serials? You don’t? We don’t either. But apparently that’s how Cinnamon Bear was born on November 26, 1937, as the star of a holiday season cliff-hanger-style children’s radio series. We hear it was quite the rage!

A work of extraordinary imagination, its playful narrative conveys a profound message, both personal and political, about humankind's inability to love, and yet our compulsion to go on trying.

Business has been slow at Bowery Auctions, so when an old friend, Jojo, gives Rilke a tip-off for a house clearance, life seems to be looking up. The next day Jojo washes up dead.

Robert Louis Stevenson was a novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer, and created some of the most famous and influential characters in modern literature. From Long John Silver and David Balfour to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, his figures swiftly became the shorthand for piracy, monstrous medicine, and the slave trade in America. A master of atmosphere and an enthusiast of foreign travel, Stevenson wrote countless stories which have been enjoyed in film, television and theatre adaptations throughout the years.

OUR MEETING IS PROVIDENCE

Editor's Pick
"Come one, come all"
"There are few greater showmen around than Alan Cumming. He can act, sing, and dance, and let’s not forget his razor-sharp wit. And he’s never afraid to share his opinion, as he does in Legal Immigrant, exploring how his life as a Scotland-born naturalized American citizen has impacted him and shaped his views on current immigration policies. His politics are clear and so is his talent. Cumming performed and recorded the show at the Minetta Lane Theatre, eliciting laughter and poignant moments of connection, while interspersing his story with an eclectic selection of songs that lend to the theme and mood. It felt like I spent a couple of wonderful hours at a fabulous cabaret show that you now also get to experience."
