Relive the most famous and controversial radio show ever when Golden Age of Radio replays the broadcast of “The War of the Worlds” Thursday, Oct. 4.

The meeting starts at 1 p.m. at the Community Center.

When CBS aired this adaptation of H.G. Wells’ classic novel for Orson Welles’ “Mercury Theatre on the Air” program Oct. 30, 1938, the broadcast caused widespread fear and panic throughout the country.

The resulting tumult and notoriety made Orson Welles an international celebrity and prompted the Campbell Soup company to sponsor the program as “The Campbell Playhouse.”

As always, those in attendance are encouraged to voice their insights and opinions about this program.

“The War of the Worlds” is one of many timeless radio programs on cassette tapes and compact discs in the extensive Golden Age of Radio Bruce Florence Library.

This library is available to members of the Activity Center, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Membership in the Activity Center is required to attend meetings of the Golden Age of Radio.
