Wells, had many terrified listeners convinced that an actual alien invasion of Earth was taking place. Adapted by Howard E. Koch, co-writer of Casablanca, and directed and narrated by Orson Welles, this original script detailing the frightening tale of an extraterrestrial takeover is guaranteed to thrill and chill audiences. Join Sewickley Academy's Performing Arts Department for this unique outdoor theatrical experience.
