On Saturday, dramatic history will be made at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with the help of 100-year-old technology, a 75-year-old art form and a 30-year-old play.
But the result, say those history makers, will be as thought-provoking, fresh and relevant as the morning news.
Tony Simotes, University Theatre director, and Norman Gilliland, Wisconsin Public Radio producer, will team up to broadcast a live performance of UT’s production of David Mamet’s “The Water Engine” to WPR affiliates statewide as part of the station’s Old Time Radio Drama series.
