  • Preview: "A Matter of Red Herrings"

    Our next original audio play...

    Directed by Corey Bradberry and written by Greg Garrison, with original music by Paul Sottnik, the audio play follows Detective Stainless Steel as she trains a new partner facing down deadly criminals while managing a client she’ll never forget: her ex-wife. From racetracks to rooftops, car chases to funerals, A MATTER OF RED HERRINGS is about identity, forgiveness, and the comedy of courage told with its tongue firmly holstered in its cheek. Starring Amy Gorelow and Julian 'joolz' Stroop as the two detectives, this laugh out loud comedy utilizes the gags and thrills of any Golden Age radio play… with the technology of the 21st century.

    A MATTER OF RED HERRINGS is performed entirely without visuals and tells the story combining the written word, the human voice, rich soundscapes, and thrilling original music. In this 80-minute audio adventure, A Theater in the Dark cooks in signature style while painting a hilariously deranged love letter to detectives, criminals, ghosts, and 1920s Chicago.

    Turn off your screen and crank up your speakers as you journey with us into the dark...

  • "A War of the Worlds"--Part 4: Wreckage

    Episode Synopsis: On Lake Michigan, Izzy watches a Martian tripod face off against the battleship Thunderchild. The Professor. In the wake of a murderous act, H.G. realizes what he's missed out on.

    This episode is the final episode in a four-part series.

    ---

    Adapted from H.G. Wells' novel and directed by Corey Bradberry, A WAR OF THE WORLDS is audio theatre performed entirely without visuals; combining the human voice, recorded sound, live Foley effects, and original musical to tell the story.

    "No one would have believed in the first years of the 21st century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than our own... " H.G. Wells enters the 21st century as a Chicagoland science journalist thrust into the events of an alien invasion after a meteor from the 'Red Planet' Mars crashes outside the suburbs of Chicago. 

    The CHICAGO READER’s Kerry Reid called the production a “stylish and compelling adaptation.” AROUND THE TOWN’s Julia W. Rath said Ben Zucker’s “extraordinary and distinctive sound design and music add to the overall feeling of dread.” WCGO and WDCB Radio both HIGHLY RECOMMENDED the production. RESCRIPTED called it “cosmic and intimate.” 

    Created by one of Chicago's most innovative theatre groups, this show was originally presented and performed live across the internet and broadcast in real time to audiences across North America and beyond. Now A Theater in the Dark invites you to turn off your screen and let your imagination run wild as you come with us into the dark…
