Seventy one years ago, on October 30th, 1938, the Martians invaded Earth. Fear and panic gripped the nation as a battle raged for the fate of our planet.
On Friday, October 30th, 2009, at 7pm, the Martians invade again.
Join us for our annual recreation of Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater on the Air’s 1938 broadcast of The War of the Worlds by HG Wells. In the spirit of Halloween, Discovery World and WMSE 91.7 FM celebrate the 71st Anniversary of this historic broadcast with a live cast, music and cash bar.
The performance will be simulcast live on WMSE 91.7 FM. Come early and stay late to catch Milwaukee’s own John The Savage playing at 6:30 and 8:00pm. Doors open at 6:15pm.
- Members: $5.00
- Non-members: $7.00

Who is Nikola Tesla?
Nikola Tesla (1865-1943) harnessed the power of Niagara Falls and electrified the world. He invented the robot, the alternating current motor, radio, the remote control, neon lights, the Death Ray, and the spark plug. In other words, Nikola Tesla invented our modern world.

As a “friend-raiser” and by special invite only, the VIP audience saw an enhanced version of Tesla Lives! Included was a before and after reception, a behind the scenes look, and samples of Tesla inspired cocktails, “Teslatinis.” Andy North was the ever so fabulous show host and making a special appearance as Tesla, was John Kishline.
Continuing on, this date was to promote the Fall 2009 DIY series of adult workshops. In exchange for emails, complimentary cake and tickets were given out. Below Scott Baldwin discusses creative classes with a visitor.
For this promo we continued to celebrate Tesla’s July birth and we added promotions for our DIY (do-it-yourself) Adult Workshops. Kevin Cullen is seen here talking with guests about his workshop, The Archaeology of Brewing. Yes, there was complimentary cake and tickets for Tesla Lives!
