Winners of dozens of awards for their creative work, Salvage Vanguard Theatre has created a family-friendly, hip/geek live radio serial that wows audiences of all ages. It's called The Intergalactic Nemesis. The story is set in 1933, when Ben Wilcott has traveled back in time from 2115 to warn the world of impending disaster. Ben solicits the help of ace reporter Molly Sloan and, together, they travel across the globe to save the day. It's Star Wars meets Raiders of the Lost Ark with a little of The Incredibles thrown in for good measure. See a live radio play come to life (circa 1940) with script-reading actors and the magical sound effects laboratory of two foley artists in this clever spin on those old serialized radio mysteries.
