A new play. A new world. A fresh reason to keep listening.

📻 About the programme
NBC broadcast the anthology from 1948 to 1950, with Harry W. Junkin directing and Roy Shield associated with the music. The programme welcomed dramatic writing without requiring a famous name to justify its place. New York actors including Jan Miner, John Larkin and Luis van Rooten contributed to its company. Its range allows suspense and human-interest drama to share the same stage, making variety of writing part of the series’ identity.

Radio City Playhouse presents self-contained radio dramas ranging across suspense, human interest and imaginative storytelling. NBC’s anthology gives different writers, characters and situations their own time at the microphone.
