Firehouse Radio Players

We are the Firehouse Radio Players - a troupe of voice actors and sound effects artists presenting a tongue in cheek homage to the Golden Age of Radio. When the "On Air" sign turns on, our cast brings to life "lost classics" of the old time radio era - hard-boiled mystery from Cliff Hanger - Private Eye, western adventure with Buck Taciturn, US Marshal, outer space excitement on The Thrilling Adventures of Captain Fremulon and more! 

We perform live shows every other month at Firehouse Theatre in Richmond, VA, but you can hear recordings of our past productions right here!
