CARMILLA - J.Sheridan LeFanu's classic story of a lonely girl who becomes infatuated with a mysterious female stranger!

A man wandering the back alleys of old Greenwich Village one night meets a weird guy who seems to belong to a bygone era. One of the few stories Lovecraft wrote while living for a brief time in Brooklyn! PS - He hated NYC. GABRIELA - A man finds a beautiful naked woman in the forest. Yeah, so? Well, he's gay and she's....? From a tale by Saki. MRS. AMWORTH - Is the new neighbor on Christopher Street a vampire? A horror staple by E.F.Benson included in hundreds of anthologies. THE TOMB OF SARAH – In 1900, a construction crew opens a forgotten tomb in the crypt beneath St. John's Sanctuary in old Greenwich Village! CROGLIN HOUSE - based on fact, this famous tale is about a young couple who move into an old house...that is haunted by a vampire, of course! THE HORROR FROM THE MOUND - two farmers out west must combat a vampiric demon in Robert E. Howard's classic yarn. FOUR WOODEN STAKES - a young man seeks to discover the reason why his family is dying before it is too late! THE SUMACH - when their sister and dog die mysteriously, two women learn that the red sumach tree in their Greenwich Village yard is not just a tree.

THE VAMPIRE MAID - a hiker stops off at an old house for a rest, but the landlady's daughter has other plans for him. “Phantasmic!” - NY TImes “Hot aural action!” - Time Out “A sound extravaganza!” - Variety “Marvelous sound design” - Village Voice Entering its 16th year, RADIOTHEATRE has since produced over 90 live stage productions in various NYC and USA tour venues and has been nominated for a DRAMA DESK AWARD and has won 4 NY Innovative Theater awards, 16 noms, 5 yrs Best Performance Art and 2016 and 3 noms for Rondo Hatton International Horror Awards. RT also produces the critically-acclaimed Annual H.P.Lovecraft Festival in NYC for the past 10 years. RT's Artistic Director Dan Bianchi received the 2014 NYIT award for Lifetime Artistic Excellence. RADIOTHEATRE is self-funded and takes pride in its mission to produce a unique quality show at a low ticket price…which is why it has been called, “the peoples’ theatre.” RADIOTHEATRE does NOT produce authentic re-creations of old time radio shows …rather, the company is inspired by the artistry created during the Golden Years of Radio when SOUND was king and STORYTELLING, along with great voices, music and sound effects, as well as, the imaginations of its audiences, were the primary ingredients used to provide a memorable theatrical experience. It’s not much different than the earliest form of theatre…telling tales around a campfire in the dark where all of one’s attention is focused upon the Narrator. However, we do like to add a few 21st Century touches such as fully scored orchestral soundtracks using a unique software designed for Hollywood movies, so that Radiotheatre delivers a monumental sound design unlike anything on any stage anywhere. Plus, a plethora of aural and visual FX, too! As for content, RADIOTHEATRE draws its inspiration from genres such as Suspense, Horror, Science Fiction and Crime …all genres which have been thoroughly mined and exploited by Literature, Cinema and TV, but, generally ignored or spoofed in the Theatre world. Combining a unique presentation with non-traditional content makes RADIOTHEATRE a singular theatre company creating modern, innovative stage works. Past shows include - KING KONG, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE TIME MACHINE, REBECCA, THE BIRDS, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, THE ISLAND OF DR.MOREAU, HARDBOILED, THE HAUNTING OF 85 E 4th STREET, GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST, SUNDAYS WITH POE, THE ALFRED HITCHCOCK FESTIVALS, THE NAUGHTY VICTORIANS, THE MOLE PEOPLE, MADHOUSE, 10 H.P.LOVECRAFT FESTIVALS, 5 EDGAR ALLAN POE FESTIVALS and more! |
