TheatreWorks presents "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play"

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley celebrates the holidays with "It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play." This heartwarming holiday production, adapted by Joe Landry from the screenplay by Frances Goodrich, Albert Hackett, Frank Capra, and Jo Swerling, offers the beloved 1946 film as a 1940s era radio play, complete with live foley-style sound effects. Presented in a fun and theatrical style, this live radio-play version of the holiday favorite, told by five nimble actors who take on dozens of roles and provide all of the live sound effects, immerses audiences in the iconic story of George Bailey's iconic tale of love, loss, and redemption on Christmas Eve. "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play" has been applauded by media including The New York Times, which said the holiday play "added another layer of nostalgia. It's easy for the audience to get caught up in the fun of creating reality from obvious artifice." The Chicago Sun-Times deemed 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," and The Chicago Tribune called it "A well-loved tale told with style, charm and a heart so big it could burst the ribcage of the harshest Grinch." This yuletide hit will be helmed by TheatreWorks Artistic Associate and Director of New Works Giovanna Sardelli.

Video streaming will additionally be offered for "It's a Wonderful Life," for patrons who prefer to watch from home.
