“It’s a Wonderful Life” the radio version, has come together nicely, as about 50 cast members have been meeting for months to bring this beloved story to life over the broadcasts of Great News Radio.
This radio drama will be produced in the Great News Radio studio, so that it will be broadcasted a few different times during the Christmas Season. It\u2019s a \u201cWonderful Life \u2013 A Live Radio Play\u201d written by Joe Landry was written to bring Frank Capra\u2019s film to life as a stage play. The play script follows the film script closely. We\u2019ve received permission from the author to create a radio drama with his script and broadcast it.
The story is set in the 1930\u2019s and 40\u2019s in upstate New York. George Bailey, an ambitious young man who dreams of traveling the world, finds himself \u201ctrapped\u201d in a small town that he has grown to detest. When his world falls apart and he is facing scandal and financial ruin, George cries out to God \u2013 and God answers his prayer in a most unusual way. It\u2019s an inspiring story of love, hope, dreams and the true worth of each person.
