Originally conceived as a one-time fund-raiser for Rochester Civic Theatre, in April 1988, the format of re-creating old-time radio shows was so popular and well-attended, that another program was presented in July. Some members involved in the first two shows decided it was so much fun, they organized a troupe specifically aimed at promoting the replication and enjoyment of old-time radio. A name was chosen, Rochester Radio Theatre Guild (RRTG), offices were elected, organizational structures were set, and a formal not-for-profit incorporation was established.

Currently, live theatre shows for the general public are produced two times a year. We also perform "Road Shows", with programs done for a variety of organizations.

Our re-creations are faithful reproductions of the shows, just as they were produced forty or fifty years ago. The genuine radio studio atmosphere is preserved with our authentic sound effects. People attending the show become our "live studio audience".
