It's A Wonderful Life
George Bailey spends his entire life giving up his big dreams for the good of his town.  His guardian angel, Clarence, falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town, family, and friends would turn out if he had never been born. Come and see how live radio was performed way back when!  The Improv Playhouse Radio Players, of the Libertyville-based theater company, is performing the live staged radio drama "It's A Wonderful Life" for a two-weekend run in Libertyville.  "This is a story of redemption, where the lead character finds he's at the end of all hope, only to be presented with a new vision on how his life has affected so many," said David Brian Stuart, Improv Playhouse executive producer, who is directing and starring in the role of George Bailey.  This is the 6th year for this holiday tradition.  The cast features successful actors including SAG-AFTRA actors Stuart (Libertyville),  Mia Hirschel (Lake Zurich) and Hainesville resident George Elliot (Superintendent Angel).  Veteran character actor Egon Schein from Libertyville (Clarence/Potter), Hannah Boutilier (Libertyville), Renee Johnson (Antioch),  Tom Reeves (Waukegan) and newcomer, Amy Bogseth (Wauconda) round out the adult cast.  Additional youth ensemble members to be announced.  Youth actors play the some of the  child roles.  "Young actors who have been in many of our youth productions and are the perfect fit to play Young George will be cast. We have like to cast young ladies to play the female child roles including the role of ZuZu."  "It's a Wonderful Life" is the quintessential holiday tale of George Bailey familiar to most and regarded as perhaps the best Christmas movie ever made.  To take this story and set it in a 1940s radio studio complete with commercials and a sound effects artist is a great concept, and it is clear why this show has become a staple of the holiday season in Libertyville.  "This is a production that will delight all members of every family, from young to old; it emphasizes the joy of the Christmas holiday, in a little over an hour," says Stuart.

Six performances only, Saturdays December 12 & 19th at 4:30 & 7:30 and Sundays December 13 & 20 at 2:30pm.   The production is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes long.  Inquire about special dinner package with Trattoria Pomigliano and other local restaurants.  The I.P. Theater is at 735 N. Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville. Pre-sale tickets are $20.00 for adults, and $15.00 seniors/military, and $10.00 students. Tickets at the door are $25.00 and $20 & $15.00.  . Recommended age: 7 & up. To order tickets, call (847) 968.4529 or purchase online at www.improvplayhouse.com.
