About this event

In 1938 on Halloween, Orson Wells famously broadcast H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds in which aliens invade New Jersey. Thousands of people believed the broadcast to be true. The Panic Broadcast of 1938 delivers a delightful look at how easily Americans can be deceived and how simple life in a small town can be up-ended by “fake” news.

Tickets to this preview performance are free and the show is appropriate for all ages.
