THEATRE PREVIEW

NOVEMBER 2024 | Volume 245

 

The feel-good story of It's a Wonderful Life follows George Bailey, a small-town Building and Loans clerk who, on a cold Christmas Eve in 1946, believes the world would have been better if he had never been born. Salvation comes in the form of a dotty angel-in-waiting. The play is given an exciting twist by being told in the evocative setting of a radio studio with songs, charming old-fashioned radio commercials and period jingles.

It's a Wonderful Life: On the Air stars Nick Preston as George Bailey and Bernard Cuffling as Clarence Oddbody, with Rachel Angco, Tristen Bonwick-Foy, Jennie Grenelle, Gordon Law, KazzLeskard, Kelsey Ranshaw and Samuel Walmsley-Byrne, with piano and foley by Kelsi James.

It's a Wonderful Life: On the Air is directed by Sarah Rodgers with Chris Lam, with set design by Sheila White, lighting design by Kougar Waltbasi, costume design by Mara Gottler, sound design by Rick Colhoun, technical direction by Phil Miguel, stage management by Maddy Woodley, and is produced by Linda Begg.
