Performed in the style of a live radio broadcast, It's a Wonderful Life: Live From WVL Radio Theatre on Sunday, December 13 at 2 & 5 p.m.

The ON AIR sign lights up and you're in the studios of WVL Radio at Christmas time, 1946 ...

There's something immediately heartwarming when one even hears the title It's a Wonderful Life. This adaptation, exquisitely performed in the style of a live studio radio broadcast in 1946, lovingly honors America's collective gratitude to Frank Capra, Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed and everyone who originally brought the story to life, giving the holiday audience a gift that attaches itself to one's soul.

The classic story of George Bailey's conflict between wanting to escape his hometown and wanting to do right by his family shines in this unique adaptation. More than 30 characters and numerous locations of the classic movie spring to life, in a beautifully detailed experience that recalls a mainstay of our cultural experience in years past: the live radio drama.

Tickets for this show are $25.00.
