America Live!
America Live was the latest collaboration between the Bradley University Department of Theatre Arts and the Department of Interactive Media. The production, which mimicked a television game show, featured a contest to determine a new co-host and debates where contestants debated over a national food and freedom of speech. Members of the audience were invited to participate in these roles.
Our class - IM 413: Advanced Interactive Media Authoring - led the way in developing the registration and voting technology that was used for the show, as well as producing commercials that aired throughout the show.
The IM 413 students also wound up playing characters in America Live.
