8 p.m. / UCSB Campbell Hall
“There is no doubting the invention, precision and
elegance of New York’s SITI Company.”
—The Glasgow Herald
New York’s most innovative ensemble theater company presents a staged dramatization of Orson Welles’ 1938 hysteria-inducing radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ story about a Martian invasion of a New Jersey town. Now, 63 years later, this compelling staging of the radio classic that terrified the nation offers a glimpse into Orson Welles’ life and genius while suggesting parallels between him and contemporary media manipulators. Stay after the performance for a Meet-the-Artists discussion.
