The beloved American holiday classic leaps to captivating life on stage in this delightful, heartwarming adaptation by St. Louis playwright John Wolbers. "It's a Wonderful Life" has a clever twist: it's staged as a play within a play, more specifically a 1940s live radio broadcast within a play. Set in KMTC Radio St. Louis on Christmas Eve 1949, the cast transforms from their radio station staff characters into multiple characters from Bedford Falls as they live broadcast "It's a Wonderful Life." Complete with microphones, live sound effects by a Foley artist, 1940s period costumes and a diverse company of characters, the play charmingly tells the story of George Bailey and the town of Bedford Falls. The witty script also calls for some audience participation when the set's light-up applause sign activates. Join us as we introduce a new generation to the favorite holiday tale and share the powerful, life-affirming message that one life can change the whole fabric of a community.
Ages: Ages 8 and up
