The Post-Meridian Radio Players

At the 2026 Arisia science-fiction convention, the Post-Meridian Radio Players will present our gender-swapped adaptation of the classic Star Trek episode “Mirror, Mirror”—a restaging of our 2021 virtual performance, now making its premiere on a live stage! (For information on Arisia, go to https://www.arisia.org/)

In "Mirror, Mirror," a transporter malfunction sends Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, and Uhura into a parallel universe! In it, the Federation is replaced by a cruel empire where promotion occurs by assasination, and everything seems changed on the Enterprise. How will our heroes get back to their own universe?

Tickets and reservations are now available for the first weekend’s performances in Davis Square of War of the Worlds and Other Invasions, featuring new adaptations of classic H. G. Wells stories “The Man Who Could Work Miracles”, “The Sea Lady”, and “The War of the Worlds”! Tickets can be purchased in advance here on Brown Paper Tickets or you can make a reservation (and pay at the door when you arrive) using this reservation form!

Tickets for the second weekend's performances at Mosesian Center for the Arts in Watertown are available at this link on MCA’s website.

On July 18th, for one night only the PMRP will reprise our Arisia 2025 Gender Swapped Star Trek performance of “The Menagerie.”

After hearing of an accident involving her former captain, Christina Pike, Ms. Spock commandeers the Enterprise to return to the site of a past mission for mysterious reasons.

The show starts at 8PM. Attendance is free. Donations greatly appreciated! The performance will be at the George Dilboy VFW Post 529, 351 Summer Street, Somerville, MA 02144 (in Davis Square, a short walk from what used to be Grace Church where most of our events have been performed). Update: This venue is wheelchair-accessible, with its own parking lot; alcohol, soft drinks, and snacks will be available for purchase. Reservations are not required, but are encouraged.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of PMRP’s summer mystery show, Bullets over Boston, featuring adaptations of two Dashiell Hammett radio classics! Performances will be the last weekend in July and the first weekend in August.

First, it’s hard-boiled parody in “The Adventures of Samantha Spade!” a gender flipped version of the 1940s radio series “The Adventures of Sam Spade!” In this episode detective Samantha has been framed for murdering the owner of the private schooner, the Steve Starr!

And in “After the Thin Man!”, we recreate the Lux Radio Theater broadcast of 1940 as murder hits close to home! Nick and Nora Charles investigate the murder of Robert Landis, the finance of Nora’s cousin Selma.

Come see our spring show, “Dangerous Adventures”, featuring three thrilling tales of adventure:

• In Jaimie Carlson’s original gender-swapped adaptation of the classic story “The Most Dangerous Game”, a big-game hunter washes ashore on a mysterious island and winds up in another hunt — but this time as prey!
• In Michael McAfee’s new fantasy adventure, “Townies and Dragons: Barrel Full of Peril”, four friends just want to get some drinks after work, but in a world of might and magic, adventure can happen at any time!
• And in Robert J LeBlanc’s The Bonnie Tales of Captain Bellamy: Song of Trickery, a pirate captain and her crew seek their fortune on the high seas (but if their fortune isn’t available, they’ll settle for someone else’s)!

Tickets and reservations are now available on our Tickets page! Performances will be April 25–May 6 in Davis Square!
