A Live Old Time Radio Performance featuring
stories from the Royal Canadian Air Force!

In the time before the internet and before television, friends and families gathered to watch the glowing light of the radio and to listen to their weekly stories. This immersive theatre experience lets audiences see what happens behind the glowing light, as they enter a live 1940’s radio studio broadcast!

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), this production entertains with a riveting blend of live radio theatre, music, and storytelling.

Let us take you back to the golden age of radio, as five talented actors portray over thirty RCAF heroes, complete with live sound effects and music. Hosted by two-time Juno Award nominee and CRMA winner Jason Wilson, this is more than a tribute; it’s a celebration of Canadian courage brought to life through powerful storytelling.
