As a fan of Orsen Wells I was excited to read this news about this theatre / magic show. Many know Orson Welles as an actor, others as an auteur director, and still some as the radio legend who“ panicked America” with his 1938 broadcast of The War of the Worlds. Relatively few, however, know him as an aspiring magician, yet it is this side of Welles which is presented in Orson the Magnificent: The Magic of Orson Welles, the one-man combination theater- andmagic show currently being performed by Lars Klores and hosted by the City of Fairfax Theatre Company at the Old Town Hall in Fairfax.

Unlike in a traditional play, audience participation is broad, and the show delighted the young for its magic and the adults for their various memories of Orson Welles. It is thus a show which can appeal to diverse generations, a rare thing in our day. Welles was also“ Orson the Magniloquent” and had one of the most recognizable voices of twentieth-century America and thus performed narrations for everything from Shogun to a documentary on Nostradamus.

Orson the Magnificent: The Magic of Orson Welles was written and directed by its star Mr. Klores, in consultation with a close friend of Welles. Although it has been performed in many area venues, Mr. Klores commented that the City of Fairfax Theatre Company’ s staging in the Old Town Hall was by far the best, and readers are urged to see this entertaining and informative show in its Fairfax incantation, which plays through May 6.
