[back to events page]	War of the Worlds The War of the Worlds is a fire and dance performance which develops the original 1938 broadcast by Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre on the Air into a live dramatization of H.G. Wells' book. Excerpts from the broadcast will be layered over original music composed for the production and unique costumes will be fashioned to portray the distinctive characters. The cast will consist of skilled dancers and fire performers from the Ann Arbor and Detroit areas. This hour-long presentation will prove to be an extraordinary experience for both cast and audience as fire and dance are intertwined into a spectacular show.
