Murray, Ky.–The Murray State University Department of Global Languages and Theatre Arts presents “The War of the Worlds,” dramatized by Hoard E. Koch from the novel by H.G. Wells, on Oct. 25 and 26 in Lovett Auditorium.
The production will follow the same script used for CBS’ “The Mercury Theater on the Air” famously directed and performed by Orson Welles. “The War of the Worlds” caused nationwide panic among some listeners for its documentary-like portrayal of an invasion of spaceships from Mars.
The show will be presented live in Lovett Auditorium on Oct. 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m., and will be broadcast on Halloween on WKMS 91.3. Tickets are available for $10 at murraystatetickets.universitytickets.com or by calling 270-809-4421.
