Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a mock radio show? A mock radio show is a performance that's presented as if a radio show from the 1920s-1950s is being recorded in-front of a live audience. It uses actual scripts of programs from that era. Actors read their lines into microphones. Piano music, sound effects, and sometimes commercials are performed live. It is not actually being broadcast on radio. To enhance your enjoyment as an audience member, you can close your eyes and use your imagination as you listen.
• Is the show appropriate for all ages? While the program is aimed at adult audiences, there is nothing inappropriate for children. However, the show may not hold the attention of children under 12 and everyone will need a ticket.
• Can we buy tickets at the door? Yes, but we encourage you to buy tickets ahead of time to ensure you have a seat.
• Will food and/or drink be served? What if I have food allergies? Complimentary cookies, coffee, tea, and water will be served at intermission. Sugar-free and gluten-free cookies will be available.
