Event Details

On the Eve of Halloween 1938, a young actor/director broadcast a radio drama based on a 40-year-old novel. 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 was reality, and how much has been exaggerated over the years? Attend this illustrated lecture and learn the real story. Presenter, Laura Keyes, Library Director in Illinois & Historic Lecturer.

No registration is needed.
