CANCELED – Fake Radio presents “The Day The Earth Stood Still”
March 29, 2020 @ 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm
$20 – $40Fake Radio returns to The Vault to present a live recreation of Lux Radio Theater’s 1954 Broadcast of The Day The Earth Stood Still!
An alien named Klaatu lands his spacecraft on Earth just after the end of World War II. He brings an important message to the planet that he wishes to share with representatives of all nations. However, because communication is difficult due to Cold War fears, Klaatu is forced to try an alternative approach: he disguises himself as a common human on Earth. Then, after finding help from a few unlikely Earthlings, Klaatu shocks the entire planet into finally listening to his important message about the future of humanity.
Our previous guest star Kevin McDonald from “The Kids in the Hall” has had to cancel due to landing a new TV show. Please stay tuned for an updated guest star announcement!
Fake Radio employs top talent from Portland and Los Angeles to re-enact historic radio shows the old-fashioned way: dressed in period clothing and standing with scripts in hand in front of antique microphones.
