    <description>The Theater of the Mind combines musical theater, old-time radio, and the internet by delivering audio theater as podcasts. The phrase, Theater of the Mind, is borrowed from the realm of radio, where audio performances engage one&apos;s imagination more actively than visual theater. In radio and other audio performances, the show is thought of as playing upon the theater of one&apos;s mind.</description>
