About The Show
This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. 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. When an angel, Clarence, shows him the positive impact he has had on his family and the people around him, George realizes that he is loved.
Adapted by Joe Landry
Based on the story “The Greatest Gift” by Phillip van Doren Stern
Directed by Jerry Sciarrio
