“War of the Worlds” recreated by UW-L theatre

Most live theatre around the area has been shut down because of COVID-19, but the theatre department at UW-L has managed to put together a show to celebrate Halloween. 

The play is recorded, and is being livestreamed for this weekend and next through the university webpage. 

Director Greg Parmeter says ‘The Panic Broadcast’ portrays a fictional 1940’s revival of the classic Orson Welles ‘War of the Worlds’ radio show from 1938.

It’s not a live stage production, because of COVID-19 restrictions, but it has been filmed for livestreaming.  

Streaming showings will be this weekend through Sunday, and again from October 29th through November 1st, with a link at www.uwlax.edu/theatre-arts.
