The Violet Crown Radio Players are Austin’s premiere old time radio re-creation troupe! Whether we’re recreating the Golden Age of Radio or performing all-new RetroVintage radio shows, we are dedicated to keeping the spirit of radio drama alive and well for modern audiences.

Our performances are fun, family entertainment. Actors in period costumes read from scripts, sound effects artists use a variety of ingenious items to immerse you in the action, and live swing music by the Violet Crown Radio Orchestra sets the tone. Before you know it, you are transported to...a Desert Island! A Bustling Metropolis! Outer Space! An Ancient Tomb! All without ever leaving your seat!

Radio Theater, a time honored storytelling tradition, makes it all possible. And in Austin, Radio Theater means the Violet Crown Radio Players! Explore our new and improved website and you'll find excerpts of our radio dramas, a schedule of upcoming performances, information about the cast and crew, ways you can get involved with our troupe, and more!
