The Theater Project to Put on 'It's a Wonderful Life: The Radio Play'

The Theater Project, Union County’s Professional Theater Company, will present its holiday production of New Jersey’s own Liz Zazzi’s “It’s A Wonderful Life: The Radio Play” on Sunday December 6.

The theater is located on the Union County College campus at 1033 Springfield Avenue in Cranford. Tickets can be reserved by calling The Theater Project at 908-659-5189. Information is also available at www.thetheaterproject.org.

Children attend free of charge, while tickets for adults are available for $10 (suggested donation).

The Theater Project’s company of local professional actors will recreate the Lux Radio Theater circa 1947 as twelve actors, a musician and one extremely overworked sound technician prepare for the broadcast of the story made famous in the Frank Capra film of the same name.

Adapted by New Jersey actress, director and playwright Liz Zazzi, “It’s A Wonderful Life: The Radio Play” serves as The Theater Project’s annual holiday gift to its loyal audiences.

“Every year, some of our favorite actors come together and donate their time to create this event as our holiday gift to our supportive community,” said Mark Spina, Artistic Director of The Theater Project. 

Formed in 1994, The Theater Project is known as Union County College’s Professional Theater Company and is celebrating another season of producing new works and contemporary classics. An award-winning Associate Member of the New Jersey Theater Alliance, The Theater Project is recognized for its color-blind casting policy and provocative “actor’s view of theater” seating where the audience literally sits on-stage with the actors where the action is.
