The Good Humor Radio Players is an audio theater production and performance company comprised of actors, Foley artists, sound engineers and musicians, including students and community members from the Youngstown area. The performances feature live actors on old-time radio microphones including live sound effects and music as a selection of dramatic tales for the ear are told. Audio theater is referred to as “theater for your mind.” During the 1930s and 1940s, American radio networks perfected the radio drama through a variety of half-hour productions such as Inner Sanctum, Fibber McGee and Molly, The Shadow, and The Lone Ranger.
Limited free parking is available in the Butler’s parking lot, and additional parking in the Wick Avenue M30 deck is also available for a nominal fee. More information is available by calling the Office of Community Engagement and Events at 330-941-2307.
