About The Production Personnel

James G. Manning

Season of Light is based on a script written by Jim Manning. He's produced dozens of planetarium programs during his decades in the business -- at the Taylor Planetarium of the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana; the Staerkel Planetarium in Champaign, Illinois; and the Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. He received first prize in the International Planetarium Society/Eugenides Planetarium scriptwriting contest in 1990.

Noah Adams

You may not have seen our narrator's name in lights, but millions of people know his distinctive voice. Noah Adams is a Senior Correspondent for the National Desk at National Public Radio, and is perhaps best known for his many years as co-host of NPR's news program "All Things Considered". His pleasant, easy-going delivery adds an elegant charm to our show; one planetarian customer characterized Noah's voice as being "as warm and soothing as a cup of hot cocoa!"

Tim W. Kuzniar

We know name recognition isn't a problem for long-time Loch Ness artist and graphics designer Tim Kuzniar. He's contributed his artwork talents to every Loch Ness Productions show to date.

Michael W. Carroll

With this show, we've welcomed Michael Carroll into the fold, from his previous stint as planetarium artist at the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater in San Diego, California.

Mark C. Petersen

And it wouldn't be a Loch Ness Productions show without an original music soundtrack from Mark C. Petersen. He's blended everyone's traditional holiday favorites with scene-setting period music, and added that unique GEODESIUM space-music touch.
