The War of the Worlds Radio Play
Jacob Aguglia
Glaize Studio Theatre
2:30PM

The War of the Worlds Radio Play was originally produced and performed by Orson Welles in 1938. The legend has it that because the play is written in news bulletin form, that thousands of listeners panicked and genuinely believed martians were attacking New Jersey! This project aims to recreate the vivid imagery that radio plays are known for in an immersive experience unique to ShenCoLAB. Live actors, musicians and Foley artists collaborate to give the audience the authentic fright of The War of the Worlds!
