The Nuremberg Community Players will present live radio drama during upcoming performances from The Emerson Theater, 283 Hazle St., Nuremberg.

The Players will perform the plays, “The Last Visit” and “The Great 1950s Grocery Caper.”

Performed in the style of classic midcentury broadcasts, the show invites audiences to experience stories the way families once did — gathered around the radio — while watching actors bring every moment to life.

“The Last Visit” is a suspense-driven story and “The Great 1950s Grocery Caper” is a fast-paced comedy.

Every sound — from sizzling bacon to crashing grocery bags — is created in full view of the audience using everyday objects. This behind-the-scenes craftsmanship offers a rare and entertaining look at a nearly forgotten theatrical art form.

Unlike traditional stage productions with elaborate sets and costumes, live radio theater focuses on performance and imagination. Actors perform at classic microphones with scripts in hand while sound effects are created live beside them, resulting in an intimate and engaging experience that blends nostalgia with live theatrical energy.

Performances will be held at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 3 p.m. Sunday.
