It's a Wonderful Life: a Live Radio Play
By Joe Landry
Adapted from the film by Frank Capra
Directed by Marty Higginbotham
Starring ATC Ensemble members James Leaming, John Möhrlein, and John Sterchi
A Chicago holiday favorite back for its fifth year, it's the classic story lovingly performed as a period radio play.
“The best holiday choice around... a fresh theatrical context that creates just the right kind of retro warmth.” Chicago Tribune
“A fresh and inventive way of reconnecting with a classic story” Chicago Sun-Times
“You can't easily find performances on the level of the work here by James Leaming, who plays George (Bailey)... Leaming finds emotional depths in George that (Jimmy) Stewart missed completely.” Chicago Tribune
