Mercury Theater Schedule

Did You Know?

The Mercury Theatre on the Air produced live radio dramas in 1938-1940 and again briefly in 1946.In addition to Welles and Houseman, The Mercury Theatre troupe included Carl Frank, Joseph Cotten, Martin Gabel, Vincent Price, Agnes Moorehead, Ray Collins, Hans Conreid, Paul Stewart, Will Geer, George Coulouris, Olive Stanton, and Everett Sloane.

As a result, some of the most memorable Mercury Theatre on the Air productions were adaptations of great novels.

That day came in 1938.It was in that year that CBS, remembering Welles' work on Les Misérables the year before, approached him and Houseman about a series of radio dramas for its summer schedule.

But it was clear to Welles and Houseman that the medium of radio suited the telling of a story far better than the dramatization of it.

It remains perhaps the most highly regarded radio drama anthology series ever broadcast, most likely due to the creativity of Orson Welles.The Mercury Theatre on the Air was an hour-long dramatic radio program which began in the summer of 1938 on the CBS radio network.

Music for the program was conducted by Bernard Herrmann.
