The nostalgic charm of old-time radio will once again fill the air in Historic Folsom this weekend as Sutter Street Theatre revives its Olde Tyme Radio Show for another live performance this Saturday, July 12, at 4:00 p.m. The special one-day event offers a lively throwback to the golden age of radio, recreating beloved programs and songs from the 1940s and 1950s.
Held at the intimate Sutter Street Theatre, located at 717 Sutter Street in the heart of Historic Folsom, the Olde Tyme Radio Show blends drama, comedy, and classic music into a family-friendly afternoon of retro entertainment. Admission is just $10 at the door, and seating is first come, first served.
This month’s lineup features three iconic radio programs faithfully reimagined by the cast. Audiences will enjoy Gunsmoke: Reward for Matt, originally aired April 30, 1955; The Bickersons: The Old Gold Show, first broadcast on January 23, 1938; and My Friend Irma: Irma and Al Break Up, from January 17, 1949. Each show is recreated with full scripts, sound effects, and period-style performance, transporting theatergoers back in time to the golden age of broadcast.
Enhancing the atmosphere, John Wilder will accompany the performances on piano, with classic songs from the era sung by the cast between scenes.
