Theater Five was an ambitious attempt by ABC to revive radio drama in the early 1960s. The series was named after its time slot, 5:00 PM, and took on an anthology format, with each episode comprising a 20-minute short story. The subject matter ranged across various genres, with a particular emphasis on science fiction and topical issues drawn from daily news stories. Among the personnel involved in the show's production was Fred Foy, best known for his work on The Lone Ranger.

Theater Five aired on the ABC radio network between 1964 and 1965, and featured notable actors such as James Earl Jones, Alan Alda, and Ed Begley in its 1965 run. Other key cast members included George O. Petrie, Brett Morrison, Jackson Beck, Robert Dryden, Elliott Reid, Court Benson, Cliff Carpenter, and Bryna Raeburn. In January 1965, the show was broadcast to subscribing affiliates from 2:30 to 2:54 PM EST and again from 10:29 to 10:54 PM EST, Monday through Friday.
