The Audio Air Force will present the classic "War of the Worlds" live on stage as a radio play which will include live music and live sound effects. You will be transported inside a studio where the actors will recreate the original script used in 1938 in the broadcast that caused a panic throughout the country. The original broadcast 79 years ago made an instant star out of many of the actors and writers of the "Mercury Theatre of the Air", most notably Orson Welles.
As a part of this performance will be an original play written for audio theater called "The Relic" written by Michigan's own Will Anderson. This short feature will give those unfamiliar with how audio theater works live on stage a chance to experience a short story before the main presentation of "War of the Worlds". This original play "The Relic" is about a guitarist who is quite an icon of rock being interviewed for a blog. The interview goes badly, and the interviewer vows to get even. In the story he learns that the source for the incredible skill with which the rock icon is able to play comes from an unearthly source, but that realization comes too late.
