The Play:
A true story behind one of the most brilliantly creative and terrifying moments in radio broadcasting history. The play tells the story of the arrogant Orson Welles and his collaborators at CBS as they produced the now infamous broadcast. Recreating moments from the notorious radio drama, including live foley (sound effects) on stage, the cast also recreates the drama behind the scenes!
