The Mercury Theatre was a theatre company founded in New York City in 1937 by Orson Welles and John Houseman. After a string of live theatrical productions, in 1938 the Mercury Theatre progressed into their best-known period as The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a radio series that included one of the most notable and infamous radio broadcasts of all time, The War of the Worlds, broadcast on October 30, 1938. The Mercury Theatre on the Air produced live radio dramas in 1938–1940 and again briefly in 1946.
I always enjoyed this radio program. The Hitchhiker being one of my favorites. Me and my brother being huge Twilight Zone fans. We had no idea
that The Hitchhiker was originally a radio show before an episode of the Twilight Zone, and i honestly love both of them!!
