Description

Aliens have landed… again! Join us for a hilariously theatrical trip back in time as DTW presents The War of the Worlds: The Panic Broadcast — a live radio-play comedy brimming with vintage flair, live Foley sound effects, and nonstop fun.

 

Based on the infamous 1938 radio broadcast that sent real-life listeners into a frenzy, this cleverly staged “radio-show-within-a-radio-show” lets the WBFR radio ensemble reenact Orson Welles’s unforgettable take on H.G. Wells’s sci-fi classic. Complete with period commercials, behind-the-scenes antics, and an out-of-this-world invasion, this performance is a love letter to the golden age of radio and a witty reminder of how easily fear can take hold.

 

One performance only — don’t miss it! All proceeds benefit Desert TheatreWorks.

RATED PG

RUNTIME: 90 MIN with no intermission

Description

Step into the glamour and grit of the Jazz Age as DTW presents The Great Gatsby: A Live Radio Play — a spirited 1940s-style radio broadcast bursting with vintage charm, live sound effects, and classic radio commercials.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s timeless tale of wealth, longing, and lost love comes to life on the WBFR studio stage, where a talented ensemble brings more than two dozen characters to the mic in this clever adaptation. With champagne dreams and jazz-era drama, Gatsby’s world of glittering parties and guarded secrets reminds us of both the thrill and the cost of chasing the American Dream.

 

One performance only — come revel in the radio magic! All proceeds benefit Desert TheatreWorks. After all… ain’t we got fun?
