"One of the best holiday shows around . . . "
“IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY”
OPENS DECEMBER 4 AT SCHENECTADY CIVIC PLAYERS

SCHENECTADY – Just in time for the Holiday Season, Joe Landry’s It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, directed by Joseph Fava with musical direction by Donald Mealy, opens Friday, December 4 and runs through Sunday, December 13 at Schenectady Civic Players’ 12 South Church Street playhouse in Schenectady’s historic Stockade district.

The beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. With the help of a five-actor ensemble that brings at least three dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds one fateful Christmas Eve.

The Chicago Sun-Times called it “One of the best holiday shows around. This is a fresh and inventive way of reconnecting with a classic story of love and redemption.”

The action takes place at Radio Station WBFR in New York City on Christmas Eve, 1946. The entire play is performed at two microphones, with all five actors taking part in producing the sound effects and joining in carol singing and jingles for the show’s sponsors.

The Civic Player’s cast features Jennifer Bullington, Robert L. Hegeman, Amy M. Lane, Richard Michael Roe, and Tom Templeton. (photo attached)
