It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play

Athenaeum Center For Thought and Culture is taking submissions for it’s upcoming of It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play: Directed by Rebecca Rose Schilsky

Set in the intimate round of the Paradiso, every seat offers an up-close view of the beloved story of George Bailey, his guardian angel Clarence, and the steadfast community of Bedford Falls.

Staged with vintage microphones, live foley effects, and the glow of a classic broadcast studio, this immersive production draws audiences into a world where unseen sacrifices matter and even the smallest light can break through the darkest night. Through Clarence’s gentle guidance, George comes to see that a single life, faithfully lived, shapes an entire community.

Blending nostalgia with depth, this holiday tradition speaks to enduring questions of purpose, responsibility, and belonging. It reminds us that culture is formed not only by grand gestures, but by daily acts of courage and mercy
