Happened to notice this article on the national AP tech news wire tonight. As it happens, we're going to be in the live audience for it.

Basically, the UGA drama department is doing an updated script of War of the Worlds but with the old sfx & microphones and such, so the live audience sees how it was done back in the day and the listening audience hears what should be some good audio theater.

And, just in case anyone is home & a bit bored Saturday night, they'll be streaming the show online
Listen to "The War of the Worlds" at 8 p.m. Saturday, http://www.wuga.org/listen_online.html

SITI Company did a more experimental version of this several years ago. You can see an archived performance at the Kennedy Center here:
