Merry Christmas, George Bailey!
Inspired by the Lux Radio Theatre Broadcast of “It’s A Wonderful Life” Adapted by James Goode
Directed by Elizabeth Dowd
November 26th - December 27th, 2021
Join us in the studios of WBTE radio for our recreation of a 1940’s radio broadcast, complete with singing, commercials, sound effects, and audience participation. Since its premier in 2002, this BTE original adaptation has warmed holiday hearts from Allentown to South Dakota. The time is right to welcome the beloved story back to Bloomsburg; one person, seemingly ordinary life is revealed to be, in fact, extraordinary.
