IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY

The Story:

This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast.

It's a Wonderful Life is the story of George Bailey, the unsung, beloved hero of Bedford Falls.

As a child, George risked his own life to save his brother from drowning. As he grew older, his countless small deeds mattered very much in the lives of the Bedford Falls townspeople.

George prepares to leave town and go to college to fulfill his dream of building skyscrapers. However, when his father, the president of the small Bailey Building and Loan Company, dies, George postpones his dreams, manages the family company, and finds happiness in his marriage to Mary Hatch.

When Uncle Billy accidentally misplaces company funds, George faces financial ruin and almost certain imprisonment.

Seeing no way out, he runs to the bridge over the river, prepared to plunge to his death.

Enter Clarence, George's lovable, bumbling guardian angel, who has come to Bedford Falls to prove to George that his life is worth living and to earn wings for himself.

He grants George one wish: to see what the world would be like if he had never been born.

Suddenly, Bedford Falls is a very unpleasant place: the bustling small town main street is lined with pool halls and saloons; none of his friends or family recognize him, not even his beloved wife, Mary, who, in this world without him, is a prim spinster.

Pursued by police, George returns to the bridge and begs to have his life back. Clarence grants it, and George runs home to find his children, his wife, and a town that rallies to support him.

Finally, George comes to realize that it truly is a wonderful life.
