AHEAD OF SCHEDULE: At Hand Productions has announced that they are ahead of their deadline.

At Hand Productions CEO, Andrew Hanna, announced on Monday August 22, 2005 that they are ahead of schedule in completing the music to its Erotica. Erotica is a multi-artistic production that explores sex and religion. As reported several months ago, the completion date was set for the end of 2005 and the beginning of 2006. The new completion date for the music is the beginning of November 2005.

When asked about specifics on Erotica Hanna said, "Erotica explores sex and religion from a historical and current viewpoints. There is something in the production for everyone. Audiences can expect to see issues dealing with sex relations, but marriage, conservative Christian ideologies, and there is a section that deals with the church’s secrets."

At Hand Productions officially began in January 2005 with its earliest origins dating back several years subsequent. It has set out to bring concerts and theatrical events to its audiences. Many of At Hand Productions' performances are designed by CEO and production manager Andrew Hanna. Some of Hanna’s more known pieces include ‘Prophecies of War’, ‘Values’, and ‘My Journal’. At Hand Productions is unique for its use of collective arts to portray its themes. In ‘Prophecies of War’, one will hear progressive rock, fusion, and spoken word. Along with these musical elements, ‘Prophecies of War’ uses video to give further depth to the production. ‘My Journal’, like ‘Prophecies of War’, uses much of the same elements, but unlike ‘Prophecies of War’, ‘My Journal’ incorporates movement and speech into the scheme. Furthermore, ‘My Journal’ uses an orchestra to create the musical atmosphere.

Andrew Hanna began his professional development in 1998 when he went to the conservatory in Philadelphia, PA. While at the conservatory, Hanna developed a unique way of creating performance art that placed him on the vanguard. Since graduating from UARTS in 2002 with a BM, Andrew has continued pushing and developing new productions in performance art. He recently completed My Journal. A operatic production that explores the psychological depths of Janice whom is sentenced to death. In addition to Hanna’s productions and compositions, he founded At Hand Productions in 2005. At Hand Productions is a Philadelphia theatrical and concert production company that places emphasis on developing productions that push large events like opera and concerts into new artistic directions.
