It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play at Oil Lamp Theater

Watching It's a Wonderful Life each year has become a beloved holiday tradition. So what better way to kick off the season than to see this old favorite in a whole new way -- live on stage at the Oil Lamp Theater in Glenview! This show-within-a-show transports you back to Studio A at WBFR Radio on December 24, 1946, where a cast of actors prepares to present It's a Wonderful Life live to a studio audience. Aided by a sound-effects artist, the ensemble re-enacts the beloved story of George Bailey, a young man who's given up on his dreams and is considering ending it all on Christmas Eve. A guardian angel intervenes and shows him the many lives he's touched throughout the years without even realizing it in this classic holiday tale that remains as powerful -- and as heartwarming -- as ever.
