ARTC is proud to present an adaptation of Katherine Kurtz’s charming
short story of an Irish gargoyle’s ongoing protection of St. Patrick’s
Cathedral. Crafted from the original work into audio drama by Daniel
Taylor, “The Gargoyle’s Shadow” provides a stellar example of the power
of the imagination as the grotesque guardians come to life and keep
watch over their sacred tasks.
