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 .
