Come join The Vagabonds for this completely out of character production as we celebrate our return to Bridgeport's Hidden Gem with the story of George Bailey's glimpse into the "What If" and a very healthy dose of Holiday Cheer.

Adapted from the classic film by Fairfield native, Joe Landry, It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play premiered in 1996 at Stamford Center for the Arts, and has since been produced around the country.

This unique take on the beloved, heartwarming story of George Bailey and the granting of his bleak and desperate Christmas wish by his guardian angel, Clarence Oddbody, shifts from the silver screen to a 1946 radio studio. Where five actors are at their mics, broadcasting in front of a studio audience, performing as dozens of characters, all while accompanied on stage by live sound effects.

It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play runs one weekend only - December 15-17, 2017.

Featuring: Juan Ayala, Betzabeth Castro, John T Lizsewski, Rachel Schulte and Ian C Smith, with Ainsley Andrade as the Foley Artist

Following the 5 pm show on Sunday December 17, VTC will welcome the playwright for a post-show talkback with the audience. Mr. Landry will join cast members and the VTC Production Team for a discussion of his adaptation of George Bailey's glimpse into the "What If" and a very healthy dose of Holiday Cheer.

The Bijou offers a central section of Theater Seating with Cabaret Tables ringing the perimeter of the floor level and in two Mezzanine Boxes at its rear. A full bar and concessions are available before and after events and during intermission. Seating is General Admission, with tiered pricing based on these seating options. Friday and Saturday prices range from $20-35. Sunday ranges from $30-45, which includes the performance and talkback.

Tickets can be purchased through The Bijou website, www.BijouTheatreCT.com.
More information on the playwright can be found on his website: www.joelandry.com
