It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play

By Philip Grecian

It’s a Wonderful Life examines the life of George Bailey, the unsung, beloved hero of Bedford Falls. Set as a 1940’s radio drama, the story comes alive via an ensemble of ‘radio actors’ who will vocally portray multiple characters and a talented team of foley artists who will create stunning sounds effects live.

• All actors in radio plays will need to register for $10. Course codes will be provided in each cast list email.

WLTC Radio Theatre Series

The WLTC Radio Division presents radio dramas based on classic films, literature, and some original works and adaptations. Radio shows are typically performed at 7:00pm one Saturday a month January through April and September through November.

Actors invited to perform in one of these radio dramas are typically in HIGH SCHOOL and older. Roles are cast based on need. For example, if the show requires a part to be played by a young actor, then a young actor will be contacted. All actors must meet certain criteria in order to facilitate the quick rehearsal process that this type of show needs. Those criteria are:

• A demonstrated ability to take initiative and practice lines/character work outside of the rehearsal process.
• A proven track record of rehearsing quickly, taking direction, and making adjustments in character in a way that contributes to the positive work environment of a production.
• A consistent commitment to professionalism in the rehearsal process, as well as the ability to use that professionalism to improve the quality of the performance.
• Actors who meet these criteria should indicate interest in performing in the radio series by filling out the electronic form link above.

Each play is a mix between veteran actors and those new to this type of production. In an effort to be inclusive, actors who indicate interest will be cast according to their availability, and not being cast in one production means that actors will likely be cast in one of the following ones.
