The Carriage House Players holiday production is the live radio version of the beloved It’s a Wonderful Life, directed by Peg Merrill. Author Joe Landry has taken the Frank Capra classic and adapted it – in shorter form – for the stage.

Conceived as a 1940s radio production, actors bring the charming characters George and Mary Bailey, played by Aaron Randolph and Sarah Hill, as well as the quirky and delightful inhabitants of Bedford Falls, to life. Margo Davis, Betsy Ross Visciano, Jason Mussachio, and Les Bailey (Yes, a REAL Bailey!) play multiple memorable roles in this show. Even the sound effects are authentic – done onstage during the radio broadcast. This holiday play is appropriate for all ages. Bring the family and celebrate the Christmas season at the Taylor Theater’s It’s a Wonderful Life.
