It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Show being presented this December at Kenyon Hall
Featuring an original short by John Ruoff, The Case of the Missing Snowman

Twelfth Night Productions (TNP) is excited to announce the return of It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Show with an original short by John Ruoff, The Case of the Missing Snowman. Both are playing together this December at Kenyon Hall. 

Based on the classic 1946 Frank Capra film, playwright Joe Landry's take on “It's a Wonderful Life,” comes to life as a live 1940s radio broadcast as the ensemble of characters bring the town of Bedford Falls to the stage. You will feel the magic as we return to the fateful Christmas Eve when George Bailey contemplates ending his life before he realizes the difference he makes in the lives of others. “No man is a failure who has friends.”

“If you close your eyes during this production you won’t miss a beat because all of the components – the sound effects, the organ, and the commercials – work together successfully to recreate the live radio experience of the 1940’s and 50’s.”
