It’s A Wonderful Life Adaptation at the George Daily Auditorium
OSKALOOSA, IA — Enjoy a live adaptation of Frank Capra’s beloved film that brings new life to the poignant story of George Bailey and Bedford Falls, with “It’s A Wonderful Life: Live From WVL Radio Theatre!” This Christmas classic is at the George Daily Auditorium on Wednesday, December 7 at 7:30 p.m.
This clever stage adaptation takes us back to the Golden Age of Radio on a cold, snowy winter night. It’s Christmas Eve in 1945, and only a handful of WVL Radio’s actors have braved the blizzard to perform that evening’s broadcast of It’s A Wonderful Life and keep the station afloat. A small but intrepid band of employees manage to create the dozens of movie characters and scenes using just their voices and a sound effects table, live in front of the audience.
Nominated for five Academy Awards, the beloved It’s A Wonderful Life is ranked #11 of the 100 best American films ever made. Its message of hope and optimism is perfect for the holidays, and reminds us that our belief in family, friendship, and people is not misplaced, no matter how bad things get.
It’s A Wonderful Life is part of the 20th season at the George Daily Auditorium. The first professional show the auditorium brought to Oskaloosa was the Dixie Power Trio in the fall of 1997. Over twenty seasons, the auditorium has presented more than 200 professional performances of a variety of genres.
It’s A Wonderful Life: Live From WVL Radio Theatre will be at the George Daily Auditorium on Wednesday, December 7 at 7:30 p.m.! Tickets cost $22 for adults and $10 for students, or take advantage of the Osky Special and get a ticket and $25 of Osky Cash for just $35!
