Have you ever wondered what storytelling was like before modern technology? See it come to life right before your eyes at The Tesla Stories Live Vintage Radio Theater Onstage. The show takes you back in time with vintage radio theater live and direct from 1944.
Since 2014, The Tesla City Stories has delighted local audiences with monthly theater performances like no other. This local, original production was started right here in Portland, Oregon. It continues to grow in popularity with most shows selling out.
Local actors take the stage to perform live radio theater derived from the long-lost radio programs of Tesla Broadcasting Company. The shows cover sitcoms, thrillers, mysteries and romantic comedies with forays into westerns, sci-fi and horror. All performances are based in the fictional locale of Tesla City. It’s also never the same show twice.
Here’s how you can enjoy Portland’s most unique night out on the town and get an exclusive discount on tickets to the Friday, November 20th, performance.

The stories are always new and never repeated. This November 20th we at the Tesla City Stories are thankful that we have two brand new episodes from the 1940s TBC archives to share with you! The November 20th show features:
- First up, a new case for Tesla City’s grim avenger The Wraith. There’s a nine year-old girl who just became a wealthy heiress but has seemingly vanished! To find her, The Wraith must turn to one of his spectral contacts – Bleeding Charlotte. It’s a (vaguely) Thanksgiving themed episode called “Late for the Table.”
- And at the top of the evening, a Tesla City Stories first: a musical episode! It’s a new chapter in The Off-Key Life of Viola Harper as our favorite would-be chanteuse receives some bad news but cheers herself by singing as she tidies the apartment – which then begins singing back?! Join us for a unique and tuneful episode entitled “A Little Nitrous Music!”
- All of that plus a fresh installment of our soap “Nightingale of the Broken Heart” and the music of Smut City Jellyroll Society.
We hope to see you for some pre-Turkey Day fun Friday, November 20th at 7:30pm the Old Church Concert Hall. Tickets are on sale now!
