Project Audion Episode 11: "Mercury Theatre on the Air: Around the World in 80 Days"
Project Audion's live-transcribed cross-continental Zoom-based production for October is an episode from Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre on the Air from 1938. No, not the "War of the Worlds" which everyone knows, but "Around the World in 80 Days" which aired the week before. Welles, John Houseman, and Howard Koch condensed Jules Verne's 1872 novel into a fast-paced 60 minutes, and fewer than 20 characters (which we handle by doubling each actor's part.) Phileas Fogg's journey started October 2, 1872 at about 9 PM: Project Audion's recreation premieres exactly 148 years later! In our sterling cast: Paul Arbisi / Illinois John Bell / Alabama Norman Cline / Kentucky Aileen Corpos / Texas Dana Gonsalves / Texas Larry Groebe / Texas Pete Lutz / Texas Les Marsden / California Pete Lutz directed, and Larry Groebe produced.

Project Audion’s newest cross-country OTR recreation is an episode of the police drama "The Lineup" which hasn't been heard since it was originally broadcast in January 1952.

The lead cop role (which was portrayed in 1952 by Bill Johnstone, who was a former "Shadow" and “Whistler”) is here played by Ed Dennis, an actual law enforcement officer for four decades. He even used his own handcuffs in the show's final scene. Our full cast: Ed Dennis / Illinois Dan Keenan / Colorado Chris Marcellus / Utah Angela Young / Florida John Bell / Alabama Barry Katz / Florida Kim Titus / Texas Denny Thompson / Colorado Tom Wilkins / Illinois Ken Raney did SFX from Texas, Denny Thompson directed, and Larry Groebe produced the show.
