The following description comes from the event organizer.

A monthly night of vintage radio comedy and drama – live onstage in PDX! Straight outta 1944! Laughs! Chills! Romance! Danger! Beverages! Eats! Cash bar! Live Foley! 1940s live music! Prizes!

Never the same show twice! October brings a Tesla City Stories two-parter that unwraps THE SECRETS OF THE WRAITH! 

First, in the episode entitled “The Eyes of Ra,” The Wraith runs afoul of a living mummy who wields the power of a god! Can he save Tesla City from Ra’s cleansing fire? And at what cost?

Next, in “The Judgment of Anubis,” The Wraith has broken a rule of the Egyptian god who granted him his powers and therefore earned Anubis’ ire. As Bobek tries to restore his friend to life, Lazarus St. George relives the events that originally turned him into The Wraith!

Since 2014, we at The Tesla City Stories have been presenting an evening of live “radio” theater derived from the recently uncovered archives of the ultra-obscure Tesla Broadcasting Company (1943-1945).

It’s “pop archaeology” as performance art, or, more simply, a fun night of vintage entertainment! The shows of the TBC run the gamut from sitcom to thriller, from mystery to romantic-comedy, with forays into westerns, sci-fi and horror to boot. But all of these shows, regardless of genre, are tied to the fictional locale of Tesla City. That’s part of what makes the output of the TBC so unique and sought-after by historians and collectors.

Truly Portland’s best night out! Come and join us!
