It’s a war in Bigfork
War of the Worlds. Late in the 19th Century H. G. Wells gave us the classic story of alien invasion, War of the Worlds.

Overwhelmed by the surprise attack of a technologically superior race from outer space and seeing the realities of conquest from the side of the conquered, humanity’s only hope for survival was a power beyond its own. In this new work by local playwright David Vale, the experience of an alien attack is brought home to the Flathead Valley.
With alien vessels landing not just in Creston and Bigfork, but all over the world, no one is safe. With Woods Bay leveled and other alien machines approaching from the North, even the team broadcasting from KFLT TV in downtown Bigfork fears for its safety. Previous invasions have been reported on the radio. But this one’s on television. In living color.
Michele Shapero directs War of the Worlds at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts. October 26 & 27 at 7:30 p.m. & 28 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are available at Bigfork Drug, the Pocketstone Cafe, the Kalispell Grand Hotel, and at the door.
