College students to perform "War of the Worlds"

A theater group at the University of Georgia is reviving the "War of the Worlds." That the play about an alien invasion whose broadcast by Orson Welles 70 years ago created panic when listeners mistook it for actual news. The theater troupe will perform the radio play Saturday before a live audience at the Classic Center in Athens. The show will be broadcast on WUGA-FM, Athens’ the local Georgia Public Broadcasting affiliate, and on the Internet.
