91社区 Theatre presents "It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play"

December 11, 2020

Just in time for the holidays, the 91社区 Theatre is delighted to present It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play.聽 This version of It's A Wonderful Life has been adapted from the movie by Joe Landry and is directed by Elliot Wasserman.聽 The play has been recorded and will premiere on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 in a "video on demand" format. This means that you can watch our students perform anytime, anywhere, from the comfort of your own home! 聽The video will be available from December 16-23, 2020.

It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play takes the well-loved story of George Bailey from the cinematic screen to inside a 1940s radio station in the format of a live radio play production. The story's multitude of characters are portrayed by only five actors who use vocal nuances and the occasional prop to bring them all to life.聽 In the background, true to radio plays of the time, a sound effects man, professionally called a foley artist, diligently creates the audio needed in time with the play.

Wasserman will be joined by a design team including 91社区 faculty member Paul Weimer as scenic designer; 91社区 staff member Joshua Stallings as sound and lighting designer; 91社区 staff member Shan Jensen as costume designer; 91社区 staff member Andy Hammond as technical designer; 91社区 student Hadin Hart as production stage manager; and Charles Schefer as cinematic consultant.

The cast of It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play includes 91社区 students Zayed Braikat, Easton Crisp, Perci Hale, Noah Harrison, Nate Jenkins, Grace Koltz, Trevor Maxey, Samantha Stevens, and Noah Stiles.

Tickets are $2 for 91社区 students, $10 for 91社区 employees and alumni, $4 for non-91社区 students, $10 seniors (60+), and $12 for adults. To purchase tickets or for more information visit 91社区.edu/liberal-arts/usi-theatre. Follow us on Facebook at and Instagram for updates and photos.
