Are you looking for a spooky, suspense filled activity for the whole family this Halloween? Look no further than Twelfth Night Productions’ presentation of War of the Worlds, A Live Radio Play.

On a bleak autumn night in 1938, aliens from Mars invaded Earth, or rather that was the tale brought to life by Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre over the airwaves. The radio broadcast was an unprecedented mix of dramatic "news reports" and science fiction inspired by the H.G. Wells novel which caused widespread panic and made Orson Welles a celebrity.

Twelfth Night Productions is resurrecting the Martian panic of 1938 in War of the Worlds, A Live Radio Play, in a shared bill with Sorry, Wrong Number. Travel back in time with this twist on modern reader's theater for Halloween week as Twelfth Night delivers a double bill of terror and suspense!

War of the Worlds, A Live Radio Play runs in a special limited engagement at Kenyon Hall, October 28, 29 and 31 at 7:30 PM and October 29 and 30 at 4:00 PM. Tickets are available online at Brown Paper Tickets (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/199850), and at Kenyon Hall, 7904 35th Ave SW, Seattle WA, on performance days. Prices are $15 for adults and $12 for students & seniors.
