This is a big reason why the newest Speilberg movie couldn’t completely work.

The funny thing is, I almost didn’t read this item because, based on the picture, I thought this was another write-up of another blog-hot indie band. Not sure what that says about the indie music scene, the young Orson Welles, or me, but there you go.

Dressed in cloths of the era with on stage sound effects area broadcasters and talent will raise money for the historic Grand Theatre and the Cathrine Fosket Childrens Theater program in Grand Island Nebraska. Over a year of planning should make this production one to watch on the world wide web.

Not as good as Welles, of course, but it was still a lot of fun.
