The TADA Theatre presents a special holiday gift for patrons, It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live
Radio Play!
Inspired by the classic film by Frank Capra, this gem of a theatrical production is performed in
a new and entertaining way. The entire town of Bedford Falls comes to life with only five
actors portraying all the characters during a 1940s radio broadcast in front of a live studio
audience. Don’t miss the story of beleaguered building and loan owner George Bailey and his
affable helper angel, Clarence, as you’ve never seen it before. This captivating, life-affirming
story is a holiday treat for the entire family reminding us all that every time a bell rings an
angel gets its wings!
It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry premiered in 1996 at Stamford Center for
the Arts in Stamford, Connecticut, and has since been produced around the country to critical
acclaim. The TADA Theatre premieres the Lincoln production.
The talented cast includes Kevin Paul Hofeditz, Cris Rook, Harold Scott, Judy Welch, Caleb
Meers and Bruce Thiel.
The show is directed by Robert D. Rook, scenic coordination by Jenna Williamson, technical
