If you're looking for some great entertainment wrapped up in a holiday classic, there is a great option for you just down the street from 520 Park at Center Stage. In It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, you can revisit Bedford Falls, fall in love again with George and Mary, and discover the magic of an angel named Clarence. Imagine it's Christmas Eve in 1947, and inside a radio studio a live broadcast brings to life Frank Capra's timeless film in all of its feel-good glory. You'll be a part of the live studio audience, and join the cast and crew as they take you on a journey through the most important evening in one man's life in this perfect holiday outing for the entire family.
All the characters are portrayed by five actors in this special adaptation, which is presented as the kind of dramatization once routinely aired on radio before television. The original radio play that aired in 1947 featured the movie's stars - James Stewart as George and Donna Reed as Mary.
Aside from regular show times, there are also new family matinees (12/13 and 12/20), which include free, pre-show activities including holiday family photos, tasty treats and cocoa, backstage tours, crafts, and an interactive lobby display. The show's running time is approximately 2 hours, including a 15-minute intermission and runs through December 21. For tickets, call 410-332-0033, or go to the website for all the details.
