Now in its 9^th season, RADIOTHEATRE is an award-winning, critically acclaimed performance group that creates audio theatre live on stage.  Though they are inspired by the Golden Age of old time radio dramas…make no mistake, RADIOTHEATRE does NOT seek to re-create quaint, period radio programs, nor does it stage traditional plays or musicals. 

 By combining 21st Century Hollywood sound technology, uniquely written cinematic scripts, casts of storytellers with great voices, original orchestral scores unheard of anywhere on the live stage, and a plethora of sound effects, Radiotheatre produces a new hybrid, environmental art form.  Its content is also unique in that it draws its inspiration from pulp genres usually ignored by live theatre, ie; adventure, science fiction, horror, and crime, as  well as, from great works of literature and original works that lend themselves to their style of audio theatre.

 Their cinematic scripts and presentational format allow RADIOTHEATRE to deliver nearly anything…from King Kong roaring atop the Empire State Building to an explosive invasion from outer space to the inner voice of a demented mind...all of which you won’t experience anywhere else on the live stage.

 In order to provide a memorable, live theatrical experience, there is one ingredient that is required from their audiences…their imagination!   It is the earliest form of Theatre…telling tales around a campfire in the dark…  where all of one’s attention is focused upon the Narrator. However, primitive it might sound, it’s still the most powerful means of intellectual stimulation, wherein, the audience is invited to participate by conjuring the visual images in their own minds…that’s something they are not required to do very often in today’s world of elaborate video games and $200 million movies.
