This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve.
"One of the best holiday shows around. This is a fresh and inventive way of reconnecting with a classic story of love and redemption."
Mary Houlihan, Chicago Sun-Times
"A well-loved tale told with style, charm and a heart so big it could burst the ribcage of the harshest Grinch."
Kerry Reid, The Chicago Tribune
