PREVIEW- It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play at Citadel Theatre

What is a Preview?
Previews are the shows before opening night. Everything is in place, and the last thing we need is you. Audiences change a production in ways rehearsal never can, so the cast and crew use these performances to feel out what lands, adjust the pacing, and lock it in. You see the work a few days early, at a lower price.
Written by Joe Landry
Directed by Jack Hickey
On one fateful Christmas Eve, George Bailey teeters on the edge of despair, until an unexpected visitor reveals the extraordinary impact of his life. Told as a lively 1940s radio broadcast, "It’s a Wonderful Life: A Radio Play" blends humor, nostalgia and heart into a timeless reminder that the choices we make can change everything.
