PLEASE NOTE: This is an audio only "radio play" performance to be broadcast via the Internet 

We will be presenting only three performances via the Internet at Halloween time.

​Summary

Come and join the fun this Halloween weekend! This online, audio-only play celebrates the anniversary of Orson Welles’ 1938 radio adaptation of the H.G. Wells novel, The War of the Worlds. Welles’ historic broadcast threw humanity into chaos when everyone thought extraterrestrials actually landed on earth. The radio drama vividly described the unfolding events with such realism it permanently altered broadcast radio.

Joe Landry’s adaptation, "War of the Worlds: The Panic Broadcast", retells the story of this infamous evening on stage. Sound effects, music and vintage commercials will bring to life the story behind the broadcast while we once again experience the alien invasion of the full original script. This radio-play-within-a-radio-play is a thrilling homage to the form’s golden age and a timely reminder of what fear can do to a society.

​Over 45 characters will be portrayed by over 25 Mask & Mirror cast members!

A flat admission fee "per household" (i.e. per Internet connection) will be charged to cover our costs. And no COVID-19 restrictions apply!
