Attention Citizens! Don't Panic! It's just the "War of the Worlds Radio Drama!"

War of the Worlds Radio Drama 
Adapted by Howard Koch
Directed by Dan Jaspersen
Presented by Cheyenne Little Theatre Players

Performance Dates:
February 18-20

Location:
Historic Atlas Theatre, downtown Cheyenne

Back in 1938 Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater broadcast an original presentation of HG Wells science fiction classic, War of the Worlds. This event was historic in that the dramatic nature of the broadcast actually fooled many listeners into believing that aliens from Mars had launched an invasion of the earth.
