Join actors from Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation as they recreate this classic radio thriller. Directed by John de Lancie, the breathless pace and convincing details make it clear why the 1938 broadcast of an "eyewitness report" of an invasion from Mars caused a nationwide panic in 1938. Originally performed by Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre of the Air, War of the Worlds is truly the mother of all space invasions, offering a rare combination of chills, thrills and great literature.

"With brilliantly appropriate casting, starring members of 'Star Trek' and 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' its heart-racing pace and fantastic sound effects, LA Theatre Works' WAR OF THE WORLDS reminds us how realistic radio drama can be." -AudioFile

"In '38, people had no reason to disbelieve what they heard on the news. Now, 56 years later, we've reached the point where we question almost everything we hear through the media. That process began with WAR OF THE WORLDS." -John de Lancie

Directed by John de Lancie, starring Leonard Nimoy, Brent Spiner, Gates McFadden, Wil Wheaton, Meagan Fay, Jerry Hardin, Dwight Schultz, Armin Shimerman, Tom Virtue and John de Lancie. Written by H.G. Wells and Howard Koch.
