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). In addition to the live performances, we now bring you the shows recorded in the studio with all this new fangled and fancy technology! 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. It’s “pop archaeology” as performance art, or, more simply, fun episodes of vintage radio straight outta 1944 brought to life again.
