PREPARATION:
Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Resumes and head shots are not required, but welcome. As this is a radio drama, there will be little blocking, and actors will be reading from the script as part of the show. For this reason, there will be few rehearsals, and we will need a list of conflicts from each actor at the time of auditions. Our working rehearsal schedule will be: February 10, 17, 24, 26 and March 3 and 5 at 7:30 PM. Performances will be March 6 & 7 at the Village Players Theater inside the Fort Thomas Women’s Club.
If you would like to listen to the original broadcast, you can find it here: youtu.be/OzC3Fg_rRJM. You can take a look at the script here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/ufo/mars/wow.htm.
SHOW DESCRIPTION:
Broadcast from New York’s Mercury Theatre in 1938, War of the Worlds: The Radio Play, based on the novel by H. G. Wells, had many terrified listeners convinced that an actual alien invasion of Earth was taking place. Adapted by Howard E. Koch, co-writer of Casablanca, this frightening tale of an extraterrestrial takeover will be brought to the stage by The Company to thrill and chill audiences.
