About the event
The Shakespeare Troupe of South Florida (STSF) proudly presents a live theatrical re-creation of Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds, the legendary broadcast that stunned America and became one of the most talked-about events in radio history. The play will be read by members of the Boca Raton Rotary Club. Excerpts from the full reading will also be heard on the evening before the event as part of the Season 12 fundraiser for Shakespeare Troupe at its home, the Sol Theatre in Boca Raton.
With immersive sound effects, live performers, and vintage storytelling, this dramatic production transports audiences back to 1938 — when listeners believed Martians had landed. Experience the suspense, urgency, and theatrical brilliance that made this broadcast unforgettable.
