The Mercury Summer Theatre on the Air (1946) is a CBS radio drama series produced directed by and starring Orson Welles. It was a short-lived summer radio series sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon on Friday evenings at 10 p.m. ET lasting 15 episodes. It harked back to Welles’s earlier The Mercury Theatre on the Air (1938) and its successor The Campbell Playhouse but was not able to replicate its success.
