SUMMARY:A Look Behind Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” Broadcast
DESCRIPTION:&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nOn the Eve of Halloween 1938\, a young actor/dir
 ector broadcast a radio drama based on a 40-year-old novel: The War of the
  Worlds. While the original broadcast had a relatively low audience\, the 
 impact it had\, and continues to have\, on American Culture is staggering.
  But how much of that impact was reality\, and how much has been exaggerat
 ed over the years? Were there riots in the streets from panicked listeners
 \, or did most of the audience simply enjoy a well-done piece of theatre? 
 Did Orson Welles know he would frighten listeners\, or was this an uninten
 ded accident? Attend this illustrated lecture\, and learn the real story!\
 n\nAbout the presenter:\n\nLaura Keyes graduated from UW-Madison with a Ma
 ster’s Degree in Library Studies\, and has been presenting on historic t
 opics for over ten years. She enjoys researching literary symbolism\, and 
 is contracted to write a book on that subject. Laura Keyes is currently th
 e Director of the Dunlap Public Library District in Dunlap\, IL.\n\nThis i
 s a Virtual (Zoom) Event.  Scroll down to register or call 734-426-4477 (
