Fall 2026 Radio Plays - Sunday, Nov. 1 at 2 pm

Come enjoy two classic old time radio plays performed LIVE on Sunday, Nov. 1 at 2 pm!

Our first play is a dramatic episode titled "On a Country Road" from the classic radio series Suspense that was first broadcast on Nov. 16, 1950. It will be followed by the Burns and Allen Thanksgiving comedy "Gracie's Baby Turkey Swallows a Wedding Ring," which was originally broadcast on Nov. 25, 1948.

Original scripts are used to perform these plays like a live radio show. Our productions include using several microphones, sound effects, and lighted applause and on the air signs. Donations are appreciated. The radio plays will also be live streamed on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/adventwestminsterco. Please note: due to recent Facebook policy changes, you may need a Facebook account to watch the full stream.

The Advent Radio Players began their very unique ministry in the spring of 2012 by performing live radio plays using original scripts from old-time radio shows. They provide wholesome family entertainment to the community, and several cast members are also Advent members engaged in a fun and highly rewarding activity.

These radio plays are performed live using original scripts of the old-time radio shows just like they were when they were originally broadcast. Stand-up microphones, "on the air" and "applause" lights, sound effects, and commercials from the original programs helps the audience feel like they are the original studio audience, just like when the programs were originally broadcast.

The Radio Players most recent performance was on May 3. The first play was an episode from the Whistler series titled "Urge to Kill," which was first broadcast on Oct. 4, 1942. The Whistler was one of the earliest radio suspense programs to gain a large following. The second play was a chilling episode from the Suspense series titled "The Whole Town's Sleeping," which first aired on June 14, 1955. Suspense was one of the premier drama programs in old time radio.

Proceeds of $604 raised from admission were donated to Holy Hammers, a part of Habitat for Humanity Metro Denver.
