A CLEVER STAGE ADAPTATION TO A CLASSIC STORY
This 1940s “live broadcast” of Frank Capra’s beloved film takes us back to the Golden Age of Radio set in the fictional studio of WVL Radio Theatre on a snowy night. Due to the blizzard, the professional voice actors are unable to get through, but the show must go on—so a small but intrepid band of employees manage to create the dozens of movie characters and scenes using just their voices and a sound effects table. The four-member company masterfully conquers multiple characters & sound effects while saving their radio station from a winter blizzard’s doom. This clever stage adaptation breathes new life into the poignant story of George Bailey and Bedford Falls—heartwarming, uplifting gift for audiences.
