Granite City Radio Theatre
A live, audience interactive radio show performed in front of a live audience and live on the air at the Pioneer Place Theatre in St. Cloud. The show includes locally written and comedic skits, a house band, guest musicians, radio serial drama, trivia challenge and other segments. Due to COVID-19, the final production of Granite City Radio Theatre will not have a live audience. The show will be live on the radio with actors, musicians, crew socially distanced on individual microphones. We are also working to stream the show on Facebook Live.
$1,700,000 the first year and $1,775,000 the second year are for Minnesota Public Radio to create programming and expand news service on Minnesota's cultural heritage and history.
The project will give more Minnesotans the opportunity to participate in and be exposed to more art and culture. More local actors, writers and musicians will have their work showcased through public broadcasting and earn income from their work. Students will receive hands-on instruction and experience in producing and promoting a live artistic and cultural radio show
