Synopsis
It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play opens on a snowy Christmas Eve in Bedford Falls, when George Bailey is
struggling with an unfulfilled life of big dreams and even bigger disappointments. A lovable guardian angel by
the name of Clarence appears and takes George under his wing, revealing what life might have looked like
without him. In the true spirit of the holidays, George is reminded how precious life is, and the value of family,
community and love. (youngpeoplestheatre.org)
