Get Ready To Panic!
Bay Theater is proud to present
War of the Worlds : The Panic Broadcast By Joe Landry
THE STORY: An alien invasion throws humanity into chaos in the classic sci-fi novel The War of the Worlds–but all it took to cause real-life panic in the streets was Orson Welles’s 1938 radio adaptation, which listeners took for news. Now, ten years later, the WBFR radio ensemble recreates the colorful events surrounding the infamous evening, including the full original broadcast. Complete with vintage commercials and live sound effects, this radio-play-within-a-radio-play is a thrilling homage to the form’s golden age and timely reminder of what fear can do to a society.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of Orson Welles’s broadcast.
Treat yourself to a piece of history. Performances are Friday & Saturdays October 19-28 at 8:00 pm and a 3:00 matinee on Sunday the 28th.
