      It's a Wonderful Life: a live radio show (2012)

      By Joe Landry

      Directed by Nathan Jerkins

      November 29 - December 23, 2012

       

      Featuring Ryan Crowder, Jenni Finley, Chris Gibson, David R. Jarrott and Claire Ludwig

       

      It's Christmas Eve 1946, and members of the KPNF radio station are coming together for a radio performance of It's a Wonderful Life. You are invited to be their live studio audience! Watch as five actors bring the entire story to life, playing dozens of characters and performing live foley sound effects in the style of A Prarie Home Companion. With this imaginative re-telling, you'll fall in love with George Bailey and his timeless tale of despair, redemption and hope all over again.
