It's a Wonder Life: A Live Radio Play Comes To Delta King Theatre

For one week, Capital Stage will present one of America's most beloved holiday classics as a 1940's live radio play. Inspired by the classic film of the same title, It's a Wonder Life: A Live Radio Play takes place on Christmas Eve in a 1946 radio station when five actors assemble to recreate George Bailey's story before a live studio audience. Besides George, you'll see Mary, the wing-less angel Clarence Oddbody, town grump Mr. Potter, bumbling Uncle Billy, even baby Zuzu and all the other wonderful characters that make up Bedford Falls. Add the live 1940's era radio sound effects and you're in for a special holiday treat for the whole family.
