Preview of 'It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play' at Mark Twain House & Museum

Herstory Theater, in partnership with The Mark Twain House & Museum, presents the holiday classic “It's A Wonderful Life” performed in the style of old-time radio theater, including a sound effects artist!

The fun and exciting holiday event takes place on Saturday, December 7 in the Mark Twain House Museum Center with two performances--at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The play is written by Connecticut's own Joe Landry and is directed by Virginia Wolf.

George Bailey, Zuzu, Clarence the Angel, and grumpy old Mr. Potter are turning Hartford into Bedford Falls this year! Come relive the story of a man who gets to see what life would have been like if he had never been born. (And there's even a Twain connection--when Clarence is pulled out of the water, he dries off his copy of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer!)

When the film “It's A Wonderful Life” was released in 1946, it was not an immediate popular or financial success. However, its reputation grew over the years, and a clerical error resulting in the loss of its copyright protection resulted in it being shown widely during the Christmas season every year. It has become a phenomenon, and many don't feel that their holiday season is complete without watching it.

Now, there's a very unique opportunity to revisit this wonderful story--in a fun, live radio-show performance, complete with a sound effect artist! If you liked our "Poe Down Below" program last month, you'll love this!

Tickets are $10. For reservations, please call (860) 280-3130 or visit itsawonderfullife.brownpapertickets.com.
