LA Theatre Works on The Air Presents War of the Worlds & The Lost World 10/30
Beginning Saturday, October 30, L.A. Theatre Works Radio Theatre Series will air War of the Worlds, written by H.G. Wells and adapted by Howard Koch, starring Leonard Nimoy, John de Lancie, Meagan Fay, Jerry Hardin, Gates McFadden, Daryl Schultz, Armin Shimerman, Brent Spiner, Tom Virtue and Wil Wheaton, and The Lost World, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, adapted by John de Lancie, and starring JosH Clark, Kyle Colerider-Krugh, Peter Paige, Kirsten Potter, Kate Steele, Tom Virtue and Kenneth Alan Williams. The broadcast can be heard locally in Southern California on Saturday from 10 pm to midnight on 89.3 KPCC, and can also be streamed on demand at www.latw.org.
Join actors from Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation as they recreate this classic radio thriller. Originally performed by Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre of the Air, War of The Worlds caused a nationwide panic in 1938 as unwitting listeners believed that hostile Martians had really landed in New Jersey.
Before Jurassic Park, before Indiana Jones - there was The Lost World! Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's rollicking adventure follows a scientific expedition deep into the Amazon jungle - straight back into the time of dinosaurs and cavemen. The broadcast includes a conversation with Leonard Nimoy, and a special feature about the dinosaur exhibit at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum.
Major funding for L.A. Theatre Works broadcast series is provided by the S. Mark Taper Foundation. Founded in 1989, the S. Mark Taper Foundation is a private family foundation dedicated to enhancing the quality of people's lives by supporting non-profit organizations and their work in the community.
