It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play


Inspired by the classic American film, It’s a Wonderful Life, “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” is performed as a 1940s live radio broadcast in front of a studio audience. Five actors perform the dozens of characters in the radio play. Our production will also feature a live Foley artists for all sound effects!
Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this intimate Holiday production in the Paradiso, starring members of the Athenaeum Center staff on stage and behind the scenes. The performance is staged in the round so every seat will have an interactive and unique vantage point to experience this delightful and inspiring story of community, compassion, and the deep fulfillment that comes from putting your life at the service of others.

One hour before each performance the Bar at the Paradiso will be open for a special Happy Hour with Christmas-themed cocktails and live Jazz music.
