Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

On the Air

In 1946, audiences were introduced to Frank Capra’s film It’s a Wonderful Life, in which a guardian angel saves businessman George Bailey from the depths of despair on Christmas Eve. Since then, the story of the Bedford Falls residents has gone through several adaptations. Joe Landry’s It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play uses five actors to embody several characters each in a live radio broadcast set in the 1940s — complete with a Foley artist’s sound effects. Now in its fifth year, Lost Nation Theater’s interpretation of this engaging production stars returning actors Kim Allen Bent and Maura O’Brien.
