Dedication

We at ART would like to dedicate our December 10 show, "Candy Matson--Jack Frost", to two of our members who have gone ahead. They both left suddenly in mid-November. I constructed a list of the ART Shows that each one had been involved in. We have their voices with us forever.

Maisie Goldman came into our orbit in 2017, and racked up 46 performances. She could be edgy or sweet, depending upon the need. And willing to try anything. Maisie was a hugely creative person and shared her talents with ART, writing a science fiction play called "Absinthe makes the mind ponder".

Liz Roach was part of us before there was an ART. Liz (and husband Tom) became part of Radio Enthusiasts of Puget Sound in the 1990s. Their primary OTR show was Vic And Sade, which brought them to us--Marge Lutton, Pat McNally and myself recorded a lot of the missing Vic and Sade shows over the years. In 2005, Liz was the only REPS member that crossed the line and performed with us as a regular cast member. She also shared any news that might come her way. She was so over-subscribed with her activities that she could only give us one night a month. Since 2005, Liz was involved with 52 ART productions. She added that mature lady's voice.

We will miss them both greatly.


About ART

Treasures Old and New from ART

An hour-long radio show, produced by Joy Jackson, featuring ART productions at the beginning of the hour, with old-time-radio music or shows to complete the hour. Each month four complete shows are composed and then made available to internet radio stations. Listen to us at:

Who We Are

American Radio Theater (ART) is a non-profit organization devoted to promoting the creative art and technical craft of audio theater.

Preserving the Past

We give lost stories from the days of Old Time Radio (OTR) a new voice, as many radio shows no longer have recordings.

Promoting the Future

We write, and present new radio plays, using traditional radio production techniques as exemplified by radio networks in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

In an effort to remain close to the roots of OTR we frequently invite members of our extended family of Old Time Radio veterans to participate in our productions. These individuals bring with them skills, techniques, experiences and perspectives unique to this art form.

Through public education, participation, performance, and scholarship we strive to create a new tradition of audio theater while staying true to the roots of Radio Theater's past.
