It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play North Carolina premiere
adapted for the stage by Joe Landry from the classic Frank Capra film directed by Hans Meyer.

immediate theatre project and North Carolina Stage Company bring you the North Carolina Premiere of this fresh take on a beloved classic. Already becoming a holiday tradition in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Toronto, this new adaptation treats the audience to a live vintage radio broadcast. The theatre is transformed into a 1940’s radio station, you are transformed into the studio audience, and five actors with the assistance of a live foley artist bring dozens of roles to life. The uplifting story of George Bailey is the perfect antidote to today’s commercialized and stress-fueled holiday season.
