The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society Presents Minnesota Made

A Live Radio Drama

Join The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society for a double-feature of “Minnesota Made” radio drama, performed in the style of an old-time radio broadcast, including vintage commercials and live sound effects. “Devil Doctor” from The Witch’s Tale (1934): An American inherits an English manor – and a sinister secret! A manic tale of murder and madness from one of radio’s earliest horror anthologies, created, written and directed by Minnesota native, Alonzo Deen Cole. “Minnesota Magnets and Murder” from The Minnesota Goodbye (2023): The 3M company is on the brink of releasing a new type of magnetic tape that will revolutionize the way people record sounds. But when one of the first tapes seems to have captured the sounds of a murder, Detective Raymond Lake is called in to crack the case. Can he solve a case in which he cannot trust what he hears? A MORLS original play by Tim Uren.

The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society performed their first staged old-time radio recreation in 2016 at the Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater in Minneapolis. Since then, they have appeared at the Minnesota Fringe Festival, Daleko Arts in New Prague, and the Wabasha Street Caves in Saint Paul. Their recreations were also featured monthly from 2017 to 2019 at the James J. Hill Center and from 2020 to 2022 at Park Square Theater in Saint Paul. Currently, the MORLS can be seen regularly at Crooners Supper Club and the Bryant-Lake Bowl theater.

“An artisanal, old-school way of making entertainment… The fun is in watching these fine actors work almost exclusively with their voices … and to see them create a sepia-toned world with handmade sound effects.” – Pioneer Press ​
