About Fireside Mystery Theatre

Fireside Mystery Theatre is dark, funny, strange, and a little weird! We're original audio drama deeply inspired by old-time radio theatre with a decidedly modern macabre sensibility! Many of our episodes feature a full cast, a live, improvised score, and musical acts that complement our anthology of stories grouped in thematic series. Join host Ms. Ali Silva and with her amazing company of actors and musicians for this varied series of thrilling and chilling tales! Also from Fireside Mystery Productions: The Midnight Reading, a special recurring series of dramatic readings of lost classics from the world of macabre fiction that have inspired our show.
