Set in radio station WIRT on Christmas Eve, 1946, this staging reimagines It’s a Wonderful Life as a live broadcast complete with vintage jingles, period songs, and handmade Foley effects. Six actors perform more than two dozen roles as the story of George Bailey unfolds—tracing the moment he questions the value of his own life and the celestial intervention that follows.

Directed in the style of Golden Age radio, this production from Irish Rep adapts the landmark Capra film into a theatrical sound-world, illuminating character, community, and small-town interconnectedness through voice, atmosphere, and live performance craft.
