We’re celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the original broadcast of the Mercury Theater’s classic end-of-the-world radio play, War of the Worlds – with a Pittsburgh spin.

“More than anything the amount of humor and overall fun in this production is really what sold it for me, and the fact that Bricolage has adapted the script to be very much Pittsburgh-based.”
“The company plays it dead straight, which gives us an amazing opportunity to witness how Koch and Welles exploit the medium of radio to their ends. The propulsion of the story, and the stripped-to-the-bone manner in which it is told, keeps you riveted from beginning to end.”
“‘War of the Worlds’ was destined to be a touchstone for a company that has dedicated parts of five seasons to the concept of staging old-time radio broadcasts for live audiences. In the years since Welles’ original broadcast, it has continued to transcend the entertainment medium.”
