About the show
Every man’s life touches the lives of so many others.
A bitterly cold Christmas Eve. Down in the basement of Jermyn Street Theatre FM, six actors gather round the microphone and a piano for a live radio broadcast. The ON AIR sign flashes red. We’re whisked away to Upstate New York where George Bailey stands on a bridge, ready to jump. Enter unlikely hero Clarence Odbody. Can this second-class angel convince George that life is worth living and finally earn his wings?
Adapted from Frank Capra’s cherished film, this inventive new production transforms Jermyn Street Theatre into a 1940s radio studio. A troupe of multi-roling actors will conjure an entire world with the magic of sound via ingenious stagecraft, unforgettable performances and a flurry of theatrical magic. Jessica Lazar returns to direct a wildly charming festive treat.
It’s a Wonderful Life! is based on the story, The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren Stern, which story here is used by permission of The Greatest Gift Corporation.
