“No man is a failure who has friends.”
Step in from the cold and into the magic of the season as the stage transforms into a 1940s radio studio for It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play. Complete with live sound effects and musical jingles, this beloved adaptation reimagines Frank Capra’s classic holiday film.
The heartwarming story follows idealist George Bailey as he faces personal despair. But just when he thinks all is lost, an unexpected guardian angel intervenes. What follows is a heartfelt journey that reminds us all of the value of community, friendship, and the true meaning of the season.
Directed by Paul Mullins.
