It's Your City: Carson City's Proscenium Players presents 'War of the Worlds' iconic radio play
In this edition of It's Your City, host Cortney Bloomer sits down with Diane Dye Hansen of Proscenium Players, Inc. to discuss the upcoming production of the Orson Welles legendary 1938 radio teleplay, "War of the Worlds."
This interactive performance features a full cast and will be performed over two nights, Nov. 22-23, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City. Go here for the interview with Diane and Cortney.
This Proscenium Players, Inc. production is an homage to the iconic radio teleplay, "War of the Worlds." On Oct. 30, 1938, audiences across the nation tuned-in to hear the incredible account of a Martian crash-landing on earth, prompting news stories of widespread panic. Re-live the horror of the original alien invasion story, just as Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater Company had imagined it.
Performances will consist of readings of the teleplay for a live audience as well as broadcast on Carson City Community Radio, KNVC 95.1 FM at a later date. Actors will speak into microphones while they and technicians use Foley effects to fool the ears of the listener and bring this fantastic story to life.
The performances will be held at the Brewery Arts Center, 449 W. King St., Carson City, in the Maizie Harris-Jessie Theater (black box theater, entrance is on the cafe).
