It's a Wonderful Life,
the much-loved holiday classic, comes to captivating life as a live
1940s radio broadcast, complete with an applause sign, commercial
jingles, and on-stage sound effects. 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.
A cast of some of Denver's most
talented actors will bring this story to life, taking on multiple roles,
switching characters at the drop of a hat. One of the most unique
facets of this production will be the onstage sound effects; instead of
pre-recorded sounds, there will be a number of objects on stage that
will help bring George Bailey's story to life. The Chicago Sun-Times
said the production is "one of the best holiday shows around. Fresh and
Inventive. Highly recommended." It's a new but nostalgic twist on the
classic holiday story, suitable for the whole family.
