Spartan Theatre presents a one-night only performance of a "live radio play" based on the classic holiday film "It's a Wonderful Life", adapted by Joe Landry. This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life with the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve.
We take you back to a 1940s radio broadcast of Frank Capra's holiday classic film, with live Foley sound effects and a stellar cast that bring the entire town of Bedford Falls to life. From the moment you walk through the doors, you will be transported back to the Golden Age of Radio, and experience the story of George Bailey like never before.
After the performance, you are invited to join cast and crew for refreshments and a silent auction and raffle to benefit our students' trip to the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival in August 2016.
