War Of The Worlds
Old Time Radio Theater spent a chilling full week of recording and editing our haunting version of the original War of The Worlds radio play, under the Direction of David Stenstrom and the electronical wizardry of Peter Gullerud. It has all the elements of spookiness you desire; slimy mythical martians terrorizing the east coast, while ordinary and expert citizens, react to the chaos all around. So, leave the real scares of the day behind you, as you cozy up to the radio and listen to a great Halloween tale.

About Us
- Old Time Radio Theater
- Frazier Mountain Area, California
- The Old Time Radio Theater is a volunteer group of players who recreate Old Time Radio shows and other related theater up in the Mountains above greater Los Angeles. We have loads of fun creating the live shows--from dressing the part to sounding the canons! Come on up and see us soon.
Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse
How to dress for a Radio Show
Is that an oxymoron? Not really. Our shows are recreations in front of a live audience. So, to play the part- that of an actor reading for a live radio show- we dress in the styles of the 30's and 40's. Not all of us have our costumes completed in the right era, but a nod to the times is what we are after. And a hat--well that can put you in a swingin' 30's style in seconds flat. Pass the hat please.
Pick a hat, any hat

Before the show in Pine Mountain Club
How the evening starts:
After everyone has pitched in to put up the set, set out seats, hook up mikes and turn on lights, we quickly decide how we are all going to maneuver ourselves to the mikes for the evening. The Jingle gals let us know what the order of "on air" commercials are, and the scripts are checked once again for sound effects that are needed. If we are missing a sound effect we stage a inconspicuous man hunt for the person who can best replicate the needed sound with their voice. Good thing we have David! Anyone want a hat to get in character? When is the intermission--are there good treats tonight? Chocolate cake!
One more look through the evenings roster of scripts to check that they are in order, we all make eye contact one last time to see if we "feel" ready, and then it's a go, showtime!
