On Friday, October 23, 2020, theater director Corey Bradberry will be the guest on radio's It's Showtime with Rikki Lee. Bradberry is the director and co-writer of Theatre in the Dark's original audio play War of the Worlds, being presented live streaming over the Internet through November 21.

Based on the classic H.G. Wells novel of the same name and influenced by the legendary 1938 radio adaptation by Orson Wells, Theatre in the Dark's production of War of the Worlds provides a fresh take on a well-loved story.

Bradberry is a graduate of the Second City Advanced Directing program, holds an MFA in Directing (Theatre) from University of Southern Mississippi, and has trained with the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre. He is a Kennedy Center National Directing Fellow and one of the founding producers of Theatre in the Dark.

For the interview, Bradberry will delve into the creative process behind creating Theatre in the Dark's original adaptation of War of the Worlds. As the name of the theatre company suggests, War of the Worlds is meant to be enjoyed in the dark. Listeners are encouraged to darken their homes and embrace the play with their imaginations.
