FROM KATHARINE: With award-winning actors who have appeared on Broadway, London's West End, and numerous television shows and films, the cast for
the new TPOTS audiobook is decidedly all-star. If you haven't heard the work of Barbara Rosenblat or Joe Hurley, you are doing your ears a serious disservice, as they are masters of audiobook acting and both lend incredible depth and talent to their roles in TPOTS.
Below, you can see the cast list for the production-we'll post another comprehensive one with all the smaller roles played in the near future, but this offers a look at the major players and links to more of their work, as well as the wonderful crew who made the book happen. Enjoy!

As Friday evening edges ever nearer (not long now!), I hope some of you are planning to snuggle up and listen to the TPOTS audiobook at home this weekend-or that you'll take it on the road, treat yourself to an outdoor listening date to the park, or even break out your old boom box and broadcast it loudly on the subway, '90s-style. (Anyone who actually does this will win-well, I don't even know, but I'd have to dream up something amazing, because you would be my hero).
Speaking of things to be won, on Monday we will launch our first contest for the audiobook, so make sure to check back for details on the rules and prizes. We'll keep you in suspense as to the nature of the competition, but prepare your pens, pencils, and paintbrushes, and carefully study any swords (or swordsmen) you may have lying around, as they'll serve as terrific inspiration. Okay, that's all I'll say-my lips are sealed until Monday!
