Radio on the Lake Theatre is excited to announced two new plays in its Audio Gallery Series at Negative Space for 2026:

January 22 - 1984

Since George Orwell published his landmark political fable, each generation has found ample reason to make reference to the grim near-future envisioned by the novel. His book set the tone for the next 70-plus years of dystopian fiction and film. The story follows Winston Smith, who works for the Ministry of Truth, altering historical records. Discontent with the regime, Winston begins a forbidden relationship with Julia – with terrifying consequences.

March 26 - Casablanca

Adapted from one of the most beloved and iconic films of all time. The world is at war, but a self-made man shields himself and others from its ravages in a bar in Morocco where the Vichy French government holds sway. Refugees from all over Europe come to Africa for passage and salvation. When one of them walks into his bar, his whole world is turned upside down. For what (or whom) would you sacrifice everything?

All performances start at 7:30 pm and are followed by a discussion with the cast and crew. The Negative Space Gallery is located at 1541 E. 38th St., 2nd Floor in Cleveland's AsiaTown district. Tickets are $15 and available now at Eventbrite. And don't forget - tickets are still available for A Tale of Two Cities on December 4!
