Join society members Eric Webster, Tim Uren, Joshua English Scrimshaw, and Shanan Custer for a live recording of their five-star (iTunes) podcast The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society. This month’s line-up includes an episode from the notorious 1940s radio program Dark Fantasy, a rollicking no-holds-barred debate on the merits of said episode, and a chance to test your knowledge in the Mysterious Old Radio Trivia Contest!

PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR THE MYSTERIOUS OLD RADIO LISTENING SOCIETY

“Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster have this down cold — not just the technical aspect, but the tone… Chilling as it might be to experience these tales (complete with old-school ads) alone in the dark, it’s much more fun to experience them with a crowd.” - City Pages

“An artisanal, old-school way of making entertainment... The fun is in watching these fine actors work almost exclusively with their voices … and to see them create a sepia-toned world with handmade sound effects.” - Pioneer Press

“This show is an entertaining and creepy homage to an era gone by, that of the radio drama. The creators of this show have a podcast of the same name… and their love for and knowledge of the genre is evident… There's a reason these radio horror shows were so popular, and happily they continue to exist in some form today thanks to Ghoulish Delights.” - Cherry and Spoon

ABOUT THE MORLS

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, and the Wabasha Street Caves in Saint Paul. 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 regularly at Crooners Supper Club and the Bryant-Lake Bowl theater.

ABOUT THE PODCAST

The Society’s live performances are inspired by the podcast of the same name. The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society Podcast revisits the great crime, horror and suspense shows from the golden age of radio, including tales from Suspense, Lights Out, Quiet Please, The Shadow, and more. Each episode features a classic, or maybe-not-so classic story from the mysterious old-time radio vault, complete with historical notes and nerdy trivia. At the end of each podcast, your hosts, Tim, Joshua and Eric discuss the merits of the story and decide whether or not it stands the test of time.

Tickets are $18. Doors open at 6PM. Our full restaurant and bar service is available in the theater! Order from your seat and enjoy the show, we'll take care of the rest.
