Radio on the Lake Theatre is a professional theater company specifically dedicated to the preservation, creative development and educational outreach of the radio theater genre. Through performances of classic scripts, new play development, educational initiatives and outreach to visually impaired children and adults, Radio on the Lake Theatre seeks to become a guiding light for radio drama in the
Northeast Ohio region and beyond. This means we are committed to being a space free of harrassment based on s*x, gender, race, religion, class, ethnicity, nationality, political belief, or ability. We are committed to being a safe environment that fully allows us to challenge ourselves, our audiences, and our communities; that supports creative risks of mind and body; and that establishes the freedom to create theater that represents the full range of human experience. Radio on the Lake Theatre came to life as the Arts Radio Network Theatre Project in 2002. It was initially developed as an outreach program for NPR member station WXEL in Boynton Beach, FL. In 2015, ARNTP partnered with Miami-based NPR member station WLRN to create WLRN Radio Theatre, a series of classic radio plays performed in venues throughout South Florida, including the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, Arts Garage in Delray Beach, and the Studios of Key West. Those performances were recorded and broadcast on WLRN once a month. The company received a challenge grant from the John S. Knight Foundation to create the Inspired By… series with WLRN, and the inaugural Creative Endeavor grant from the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. ARNTP, now Radio on the Lake Theatre, relocated in 2017 to Shaker Heights, Ohio.
