It's a Wonderful Life, one of the all-time great Christmas stories, comes to life in a live 1940s-style radio broadcast at Annapolis Shakespeare Company's Studio 111. With the help of a seasoned ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds with a lot of heart and captivating live sound effects. Bailey is a down-on-his-luck family man who's hit bottom and is about to end it all, when his guardian angel shows him what life in his town would have been like without him. Sure, you could catch the movie on TV, but this live Helen Hayes Recommended show is filled with a warmth that television can't match. You'll find yourself tearing up at all the same places you do in the movie, even as you marvel over the period details of the show.
