IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE - RADIO PLAY

ABOUT THE SHOW

Written by Joe Landry, with a musical score by Kevin Connors and vocal arrangements by Darylene Hecht, It’s a Wonderful Life is set in a 1940s radio studio.  Iconic roles of George & Mary Bailey, Clarence the Angel, Mr. Potter and all the residents of Bedford Falls are created by a lively team of five talented actors. Radio jingles set a holiday mood and a Foley artist, with an assortment of clever props, creates live sound effects on stage.

“I’m thrilled to work with this amazing cast,” says Nancy Rich, the award-winning Director of this show. She adds, “Each actor is bringing unique talents to the stage.  As George Bailey, Nick Popio demonstrates both the character’s strength and vulnerability. He’s matched by Bridget Patterson who brings her own combination of spunk and tenderness to the role of Mary Bailey.  Playing Clarence the Angel among other roles, Tony Hefner is one of the funniest comic actors in the Triangle.  As show host, Freddy Filmore, Steve Mignon is the consummate radio announcer. Morissa Nagel completes the top-notch ensemble, playing characters of all ages, from little Zuzu to George’s mother. Rod Rich is the Foley Artist and Darylene Hecht is the show’s Musical Director.
