Terrific! The best holiday choice around! The classic movie retold through this clever faux period broadcast, a genre it seems to fit with remarkable ease. If you cry every time you see the movie, you'll be blubbering away right on cue. Guaranteed. You might well be blubbering more. The kind of old-fashioned, personalized holiday environment that we all crave but usually fail to find. Exceptional!

Company of Fools presents the PERFECT show for this holiday season - IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: a live radio play adapted by Joe Landry from the screenplay by Frank Capra, Frances Goodrich, Albert Hackett & Jo Swerling. The production runs December 17, 2008 through January 4, 2009 at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey.

Return with us to the thrilling days of yesteryear when news, music, comedy, drama, and soap operas came into our homes via radio. The setting is Christmas Eve 1946. You're part of the studio audience at radio station WCOF, where several talented radio players create all the characters (yes, all of them!) in It’s a Wonderful Life, plus commercials, sound effects, and music – an engaging and memorable way to experience anew the powerful story of George Bailey, “the richest man in town.”
