GREAT Theatre, KVSC team up to broadcast ‘The War of the Worlds’

The experience cast of local actors and live sound effects artists are recreating one of the most famous radio plays of all time – just in time for Halloween.

The legendary show that caused a national panic in 1938 by Orson Welles and The Mercury Theater will be performed live on-stage at Helgeson Learning Lab Theatre, 710 Sundial Dr., Waite Park, and broadcast and streamed live on KVSC radio at 8 p.m. Oct. 28.

Audience members will experience what’s behind the curtain in a production that truly enters the “theatre of the mind.”

“The War of The Worlds” will be the first PLAYlabs experience created in the brand new Helgeson Learning Lab Theatre in Waite Park. PLAYlabs are experiences that provide a chance for GREAT Theatre to be brave and take bold artistic risks as we venture into the new.

KVSC-FM prides itself in offering an eclectic blend of progressive rock (indie rock, punk rock, classic rock and beyond), jazz, folk, hip-hop, reggae, world, blues, Minnesota music and much more.

KVSC has a wide variety of news programming which includes coverage of St. Cloud State University and local stories produced by the award-winning KVSC News Department.

Limited tickets are available to attend the final preview at 8 p.m. Oct. 27 or the live broadcast at 8 p.m. Oct. 28.

Tickets are $10 each night and include a pre-show reception at 7 p.m. Tickets are available online at www.GreatTheatre.org or by calling 320-258-2787.
