Theatre Production: It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play

It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play production graphic

You’ve heard of a “play within a play.” But this production does you one better! It’s the classic Christmas film… retold as a 1940s radio show (complete with foley sound effects)… tucked inside a heartwarming play. 

Join this small radio crew as they give voice to George Bailey’s Christmas Eve crisis. The earth will shake (and bells will ring!) as Clarence—his guardian angel—unfurls the story of his life’s impact.

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY (FULL LENGTH VERSION) is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. www.concordtheatricals.com
