About the project and the company
It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play
Adapted by Joe Landry
Based upon the works by Greatest Gift Corporation
Director: Craig Schieber
This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940’s radio broadcast. With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve. A sound foley artist will add to the fun of recreating a behind the scenes view of an art form from days gone by.
The setting is radio studio A at WBFR in Manhattan, New York, Christmas Eve, 1946.
