The Electric Arc is a comedic serial radio show, taped before a live audience for later podcast. Performances have the electric atmosphere of a good party, well thrown. Each performance is a new episode, featuring an original narrative arc, original score, and a musical guest. It is comprised of four writers, a narrator who also plays the piano and composes all of the original music, a full band?a drummer, a guitarist, a world renowned canjo player?and two permanent actors who play several other characters. The show is refined and, yet, there is an irresistible rawness to each story. This is likely due to the fact that most scripts and songs are written in the week before the show with little time for rehearsals and rewrites. Add popular musical guests, like The Owls and Chris Koza, and you?ve got one of the most interesting acts in the Twin Cities.
