We are excited to announce that casting for The Tower Treasure is nearly complete. We will be sharing the full cast soon, but today we are thrilled to share the talented folks who will be voicing the four members of the Hardy family.

Our main characters of Frank and Joe Hardy will be voiced by Dominic Treis and John Tuttle III. These two young actors have been involved in numerous audio dramas so far in their voiceover careers and have been active members of our group for years now. We are looking forward to hearing them take on these iconic characters.

The boys' parents, renowned detective Fenton Hardy and his wife Laura, will be played by Peter Fazzari and Alicia Hansen. Both of these talented voiceover artists have many roles under their belts and we are confident in their ability to bring these characters to life for this production.
​
About the Actors

​Dominic Treis has been fascinated with audio drama and voice acting for almost as long as he can remember. When he was a young boy, he would often reenact whole audio drama scenes from memory, subjecting his parents’ ears to a repetitious clatter that often ended with him being told to “Control your mouth.” He has since channeled that energy towards his voice acting career, and has lent his voice to numerous productions including Lamplighter Theatre’s Shipwrecked, HeartMatters’ "A Far-Off Planet" and "David vs Joseph," and Eternal Future Productions’ Venture, Pirateers, and Robin Hood: Rising to Honor. He is so excited to play Frank in the first-ever audio drama adaptation of The Hardy Boys!

John Tuttle III is a voice actor with credits in a variety of audio dramas, including productions for the ministry HeartMatters, the podcast FaithFilled Stories, and short dramas for the Audio Drama Alliance. His work also includes “Christmas at the Canteen” and the series Shadows and Daylight. John delivers authentic and skilled performances that bring stories and characters to life.

Peter Fazzari’s passion is bringing complex characters to life in immersive audio drama productions. His dedication to connecting with audiences shines through in every performance, making him a trusted voice for creators and listeners alike. Most recently, his voice has been guiding listeners to peace and relaxation through meditations and scripture readings on the popular Amen app by the Augustine Institute. Now, Peter is thrilled to be taking on the role of Fenton Hardy in The Hardy Boys and The Tower of Treasure, produced by the Audio Drama Alliance!

Alicia Hansen has been voice acting since 2019 and enjoys bringing authenticity to the characters that she plays. She can be heard in HeartMatters productions as Eve in “The Serpent from the Beginning,” and Beth in “The Darkness Duology.” She can also be heard as Fay Rogers in AudioImagination77 Productions’ Operator, Maid Marian in LRT and Eternal Future Productions’ Robin Hood: Rising to Honor, The Slave Girl in Markiewitz Audioworks’ Artaban and the Quest for the King, Rachel in FaithFilled Stories “The Innkeeper’s Son,” and Bonnie Kate in Triple Cord Productions’ “Bonnie Kate.” She has also voiced several characters for First Acts Productions and Dominion Artists. Alicia is interested in growing as a voice actor, and more importantly, doing it with the purpose of bringing glory to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

We are excited about this cast and we look forward to working with them on this project. We're also looking forward to sharing the rest of the cast very soon! Stay tuned for more and please tell a friend about this project!

Announcing the Writing Team for The Tower Treasure

Attention mystery fans: the final draft of the script for The Hardy Boys and The Tower Treasure audio drama is now complete! 

Our writers have been working hard to bring this exciting story to life for a new generation of Hardy Boys fans, while also ensuring that the adaptation remains faithful to the beloved source material. The script is based on the original 1927 edition of the book, and the story will be appropriately set in that era. To mark this milestone in the production process, we wanted to use the occasion to introduce our talented writing team!

Craig Hart (Robin Hood: Rising to Honor, Heritage) was our lead writer who coordinated the writing team and outlined the script assignments for each member. He was joined on this project by Bethany Baldwin (Pat Walker Mysteries, To Be Remembered), Austin Peachey (Sonic Comics, FaithFilled Stories), and Josh Rodriguez (Yours Truly, Johnny Denarii). These four writers worked on The Tower Treasure for months in addition to all of their regular day job duties and other creative projects. They labored on this script because they all love these stories and wanted to help bring them to life in the audio drama medium.

Craig Hart, Lead Writer and Director:
"The Hardy Boys is one of the most iconic book series of all time, and it was an honor to work on the story that not only started it all, but that was an integral part of my childhood. Scripting for The Tower Treasure was like digging up a treasure chest of nostalgia!"

Bethany Baldwin:
"I remember seeing a large collection of Hardy Boys books on my family's bookshelves from childhood. Getting to work on a project that resonates with and holds warm memories for so many generations of people has been a special experience. One aspect I enjoyed was writing the different personalities of Joe and Frank and thinking how each of them would respond to situations differently."

Austin Peachey:
"The Hardy Boys was my favorite book series to read growing up. Helping to adapt one of those books is one of my favorite writing projects ever!"

Josh Rodriguez:
"I grew up totally obsessed with The Hardy Boys. To be on the writing team for the ADA Hardy Boys audio drama is like a dream come true. Excited to hear Frank, Joe, and the gang come to life in the theatre of the mind!"

Once the team had finished the first draft of the full story, ADA Creative Director, J.D. Sutter and Craig Hart went through three more drafts to edit, refine, and polish the script. Many hours of research and staring at scriptwriting software later, the final draft was completed on September 15, 2024.

The feature-length adaptation of The Hardy Boys and The Tower Treasure will be available to stream for free on the ADA website (audiodramaalliance.com) and in our podcast feed. The estimated time of release is early 2025, and fans are encouraged to stay tuned for updates regarding the final cast list, official cover art, and more as the release date approaches. We will continue to post updates on the blog, but will also be keeping a dedicated page on the site updated with the latest here.
