Want to produce your own old-time radio show? This is the easiest way to do it. A Radiokit contains everything you'll need except actors! Ideal for:

Community Theatres
School Drama Classes
Senior Centers
Churches
Audio Drama Groups

...or anyone who wants to see how radio drama used to be done, and try it themselves.

Each Radiokit is shipped to you with all the materials you need to produce a 30 minute or 60 minute recreation of a classic radio show from the Golden Age of Radio. We've gone back to the actual original scripts from the archives of the Generic Radio Workshop, never made available to the public, added all the music, sound effects, and advice you need to get started, enclosed in a sturdy leatherette 3-ring director's binder.

You create the show as your cast and talents permit. Use all the included sound effects and music, or add your own live FX for an authentic radio studio experience. Explore the imaginative possibilities of the Golden Age of Radio, taking advantage of the Generic Radio Workshop's 40 years of producing and reproducing Old Time Radio to jumpstart and simplify your show. It's educational. It's historical. It's fun!
