HACC Theatre to Present The Time Machine - Their First Live Streamed Performance
HACC Theatre is excited to present H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine, live streaming on Oct. 30, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.
Based on the original story by H.G. Wells, it has been adapted into a radio play by John de Lancie, better known as Q to Star Trek fans. Remember the good old days of radio – when people had to use their imaginations and when the mind was a stage? Those days are back – only better! You can SEE and HEAR radio programs in this live broadcast.
A British inventor travels in his time machine to the future, where he finds that the human race has not progressed as expected. He encounters a race of people called Eloi, who enjoy a life of “mindless abandon.” But, as he soon discovers, that life comes with a price.
All tickets are $5 and are available at hacc.edu/HACCtheatre or through the box office at 717-231-7673.
