Based in Memphis, Tenn., Chatterbox Audio Theater was created on a very low budget by four very creative friends. Chatterbox creates fully soundscaped audio works for free streaming or download. With rare exceptions, Chatterbox shows are recorded live, with manual sound effects and as little post-production editing as possible. Chatterbox is a nonprofit web-based community theater that advances the exchange of ideas by channeling creativity and artistic collaboration into recorded audio works that enlighten, entertain and inspire.
