Answer Below

The infamous 1938 broadcast adapted from the H.G. Wells' novel, "War of the Worlds", aired on Oct. 30. A number of people who tuned into the show late thought the earth was actually under attack by Martians, thanks to the pseudo-documentary storytelling style of the broadcast.

Come experience this historic broadcast for yourself at the live reenactment of "War of the Worlds" from 1 to 2:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 1 at the Aurora Center for Active Adults, 30 W. Del Mar Circle. Professional actors use a variety of props to help recreate the magic of a radio show. Tickets are $10 for Aurora residents and $13 for non-residents. Purchase your tickets today at AuroraPROS.org/WorldsRadioShow.
