THE HITCHHIKER

"The Terror Starts Whenever The Car Stops!"

Theatrical Lighting! Live Sound Effects! Chills! Thrills!

8 PM, Sat. Oct 28

Remember the "Twilight Zone" episode about a distraught motorist and a recurring hitchhiker? It originated as a radio play some 20 years earlier. Produced/performed by Orson Welles and broadcast on September 2, 1942, it tells the story of Ronald Adams, a brash young man on a lonely cross-country trip who is slowly driven mad by the constant reappearance of a creepy drifter. What does this man's presence mean, and is he really there at all, or just a creation of Adams' mind? Find out!
