TCOE’s Stage and Space Collaborative, a joint project of the Planetarium and Science Center and Theatre Company, is holding special live, fully immersive productions of The War of the Worlds on October 24 and 25.

Broadcast from New York's Mercury Theatre in 1938, the infamous radio play – based on the novel by H. G. Wells – had some terrified listeners convinced that an actual alien invasion of Earth was taking place. The community is invited to come, sit back, and enjoy this frightening tale of an extraterrestrial takeover.

The audience begins their experience with a planetarium show, One Day on Mars. Audiences will learn about that evening’s night sky and receive an informational tour about Mars. Afterwards, they’ll take a seat and be transported back to 1938 for a fully immersive retelling of the infamous radio drama. The War of the Worlds is complete with sound effects, original art projections, and exciting live performances from talented TCOE student actors.

General admission for the show is $12, and the total run time is approximately 120 minutes. The production is suggested for ages 12 and up, but all are welcome.

One of the most enduring shows of all time, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a reimagining of the Biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, eleven brothers, and the coat of many colors.

Told entirely through song, the musical follows the preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.

The magical musical is full of catchy songs in a variety of styles, from a parody of French ballads (“Those Canaan Days”), to country-western (“One More Angel in Heaven”) and calypso (“Benjamin Calypso”), along with the unforgettable classics “Any Dream Will Do” and “Close Every Door.”

TCOE Theatre Company's production stars over 75 students in grades 3rd-12th. Performance dates are November 20-22 at Rotary Theatre in Visalia.
