Warning! This is a test of the Emergency Pioneer Broadcasting System. Do Not Panic! “War of the Worlds: The Panic Broadcast” will be “on the air” at CenterStage Theater this week.

Senior Dominic Mazullo plays Freddy Filmore in CenterStage’s “War of the Worlds,” by Orson Welles.

WJ’s production follows Freddy Filmore (played by Dominic Mazullo), a 1940s WFBR radio host, who reenacts the infamous, keeps-you-guessing broadcast “War of the Worlds” by Orson Welles, aired originally on October 31, 1938.

The show offers an enthralling and interactive experience— transforming WJ’s theater into an authentic ‘40s radio studio. For more information, and to purchase your tickets online, please visit WJ’s Performing Arts web page.
