Chagrin Falls, OH
Community Theatre

By: Howard E. Koch
Based on the novel by: H.G. Wells

April 16 - April 18, 2021

Show Description:

In 1938 Orson Welles and his team took to the CBS Radio airwaves with a performance of Howard E. Koch’s “The War of the Worlds” script, based on the H.G. Wells novel. It became a legendary broadcast for using a ‘faux newscast’ style that tricked some listeners into thinking aliens had actually invaded. It also secured Welles’ place as a master of theatre.

CVLT will be staging a radio-style reading of the original script, complete with ‘live sound effects’, on the River Street Playhouse stage.
