Little Theatre of Virginia Beach Presents IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A RADIO PLAY
'Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings' is one of the most memorable quotes from the holiday classic film 'It's a Wonderful Life,' but Little Theatre of Virginia Beach brings us more sound effects than just a bell in their production of the radio play version. Foley artists create all the sounds of 1940s Bedford Falls, just like it was done when radio was the center of family entertainment in the home. Instead of huddling around a radio, families turn to a smart TV, computer, or mobile device for the story of the life of George Bailey and his fateful Christmas Eve encounter.
