It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play

Adapted for the stage by Joe Landry, Based on the Frank Capra film

November 24, 2006 - December 23, 2006

Playhouse on the Square, 51 S. Cooper St. Memphis, TN

Turn back the clock to the 1940s and set the dial for a double dose of holiday nostalgia. This nifty spin on a traditional favorite hearkens back to the golden age of radio when families gathered together for inspirational broadcasts and wholesome entertainment. Cleverly conceived and drawn directly from the enduring Capra film, savvy studio actors employ their vocal talents and live radio sound effects to re-imagine the much-loved celluloid tale of George Bailey's journey of self-worth. Perfect for the whole family, revisit this vibrant celebration of simple goodwill, community, and cheer in the face of hardship.
