| The first half of the 20th Century witnessed the birth of commercial radio, which brought live and pre-recorded programming into millions of living rooms. Baby Boomers and those of the Greatest Generation still recall gathering in front of the radio, to listen to Challenge of the Yukon, Flash Gordon, or any of hundreds of other comedies, dramas, and adventures. With audio being the only stimulus, listeners' imaginations were free to run wild, building their very own version of the incredible worlds that lay on the other side of that mysterious box of jumbled wires and vacuum tubes. Today's state-of-the-art digital wizardry, showcased in Star Wars, Marvel movies, and countless TV shows, bombards us with stunning realism, fully digested, leaving little to the imagination. We are a small group of theater nerds, who wish to turn back the clock, if only for an hour or two, to bring back the simplicity and "gee wiz" factor of live radio, with all its quirks and creativity. When you come to our classic and original shows, be sure to turn off your smart phone, and, instead, turn on that part of your mind that wants to be free to imagine a limitless menagerie of worlds. Relive a part of your own childhood, or introduce a new generation to a long-lost piece of Americana!
