Radio Theatre Experiment is a new initiative that was started by a group of keen community volunteers with an interest in drama and theatre looking to create new programs on our local radio station. Radio theatre revisits the golden age of radio when families would sit around their radio listening to the exciting shows the way we sit around our television sets watching them today!

If this special broadcast sparks your interest, look out this spring will bring a new season of Community Radio Theatre to the airways here in Smithers. If you would like to be involved as an actor, Foley, writer, musician, techie, or producer please contact us at cicklilka@gmail.com, or phone 250 847 8769. Everyone is welcome.
