It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play

December 3-20, 2026

Adapted by Joe Landry

Step back in time as a beloved holiday classic comes to life through the magic of live radio.

In It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, a small ensemble of actors brings an entire town to life using voices, music, and sound effects — just as audiences experienced it in the 1940s. At the heart of the story is George Bailey, a man who begins to question his worth one fateful Christmas Eve, only to discover the profound impact he has had on the lives around him.

Warm, nostalgic, and deeply moving, this timeless story is a celebration of connection, community, and the extraordinary value of an ordinary life.
