About this Event
Live Old Time Radio Performance
The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society celebrates two pioneering women writers from the Golden Age of Radio: Kathleen Hite and Lucille Fletcher. Join us for a double feature showcasing Hite’s 1953 script “The Old Lady” from the groundbreaking western series Gunsmoke, alongside Fletcher’s “The Thing in the Window,” written in 1946 for radio’s outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense. The plays are performed in the style of a vintage old-time radio broadcast, complete with period commercials and live sound effects.
Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster
The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society performed their first staged old-time radio recreation in 2016 at the Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater in Minneapolis. Since then, they have appeared at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, Daleko Arts in New Prague, The Wabasha Street Caves in Saint Paul, and The Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, Wisconsin. Their recreations were also featured monthly from 2017 to 2019 at the James J. Hill Center and from 2020 to 2022 at Park Square Theater in Saint Paul. Currently, the MORLS can be seen bi-monthly at Crooners Supper Club.
An “entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by” (Cherry and Spoon), brought to life by veteran Twin Cities performers Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster, who “use their voices to paint a picture so vivid that if you close your eyes, you can see the action in your mind’s eye” (Stages of Minnesota).
