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.
On December 13 – 18, Sun Valley Company will present Company of Fools’ production of IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY at the Sun Valley Opera House. The production will then conclude its run December 20-30 at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey.
Return 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 at station WCOF, where several talented radio players bring you 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.”
Company of Fools’ production features Rachel Abrams, Andrew Alburger, Jana Arnold, Greg Cappel, Kathryn Cherasaro, Scott Creighton, Keith Joe Dick and John Glenn under the direction of Denise Simone. Musical direction is by R.L. Rowsey, set design by Joe Lavigne and light design by Steven Koehler.
IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY is supported in part by Rocky Mountain Hardware and Joyce Friedman — in memory of Ruth and Sam Kane. Company of Fools’ 16th season sponsors include High Country Fusion, Cox Communications, Hailey Coffee Company, Wood River Insurance, Zions Bank and media sponsor The Weekly Sun.
