'It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play' Coming to Ellington
The Opening Knight Players will be performing this live radio drama on Dec. 5, 6 and 7.
From a press release:
The Beloved Holiday Film Comes to Life – Recreated as a Live 1940’s Radio Broadcast!
The Opening Knight Players will produce It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 5 and 8 p.m. on Dec. 6 and 7 in the Gordon C. Getchell Auditorium.
This play transposes the cinematic classic (and holiday television tradition) to the theater by staging the story as if it was a live 1940s radio broadcast in front of a studio audience. Thirty actors perform the voices of the dozens of characters while creating Foley sound effects.
As in the movie, everyman George Bailey must learn that “no man is a failure who has friends” (and a little divine intervention), when he must face off against local curmudgeon Henry F. Potter.
Plan to attend at least 20 minutes early for preshow festivities. Tickets, which can be purchased at the door, are $8 for adults and $6 for students/senior citizens. Bring the entire family for a night of miraculous holiday wonder!
