It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, adapted by Joe Landry and directed by Becca Holloway, returns to Oil Lamp Theater for its 13th year. Frank Capra's beloved classic is reimagined as a live radio play complete with foley sound effects, set in the WBFR radio studio. The story follows George Bailey, whose troubles lead him to wish he was never born, until angel Clarence intervenes to show him how many lives he has touched.
