“Twilight Zone” ran four nights, plastering itself in the WJ history books as it took on a different type of play this year. Rather than one storyline for the whole show, “Twilight Zone” covers three episodes of the 50s and 60s show by the same name per night, with different episodes playing on each Friday and Saturday show. Here are some highlights.

Senior Sam Blair fearfully cowers to members of the ensemble cast in “People Are Alike All Over”. This episode follows two astronauts who are on a journey to Mars, contemplating the nature of alien life, who are then thrust into the hands of the very martians they were philosophizing about.

Head audio Assistant Shira Levy and senior Kayla Johnson (from left) adjust sound levels and receive cues from stage managers at the back of the auditorium. One of the challenging sonic tasks this production had was coordinating a voiceover by Bryan Kibet with the movements of Joseph Cowen as the towering Kanamit in “To Serve Man”.
