An upcoming production is happening the day before Halloween with the Greene County Community Theatre.

GCCT President Josh Tuel talks about the performance that is coming up.

“So I’m kind of excited. We’ve never really done a Halloween thing and we talked about this last year, but ran out of time. We are going to take the original 1938 ‘War of the Worlds’ script by Orson Welles that was done on the radio and actually caused kind of a nationwide panic for a bit.”

There are 15 cast members that did the recording and the program will be “aired” on the Greene County Community Theatre and Raccoon Valley Radio Facebook pages at 8pm on October 30th. The cast list can be found below.
