If you think you know It's a Wonderful Life, it's time to think again. Turn back the clock to the 1940s and set the dial for a double dose of holiday nostalgia. This nifty spin on a traditional favorite hearkens back to the golden age of radio when families gathered together for inspirational broadcasts and wholesome entertainment. Cleverly conceived and drawn directly from the enduring Capra film, savvy studio actors employ their vocal talents and live radio sound effects to re-imagine the much-loved celluloid tale of George Bailey's journey of self-worth.

Once upon a time, at the end of the world, something really unusual happened. In a tiny, forgotten town just off the exit ramp, six ordinary folks face themselves, each other, and the terrifying certainty of an early and unjust end. How do they react to their impending doom? Panic reigns! Inhibitions vanish! People focus every iota of their energies on absurdities! Well, how would you react?


By Nancy Gilsenan,
based on the novel by Judith Guest
Directed By Brent Wooldridge

A stunningly emotional domestic drama about an upper middle-class family coming apart at the seams after a tragic boating accident kills their eldest son and the shattering impact felt by the surviving sibling. Conrad, who has recently come home following a long stay in a psychiatric hospital, feels alienated from his friends and family and seeks out the help of a psychiatrist, Dr. Berger. The father awkwardly struggles to connect with his surviving son, who is tormented by depression, survivor guilt, and post-traumatic stress disorder, but he has no help from his wife, Beth, who is cold, selfish, and obsessed with maintaining the appearance of perfection and normalcy.

A series of contemporary scenes and monologues brilliantly reflect the joys and problems of growing up too quickly in America. The scenes are devastatingly honest, sometimes hilarious, always speaking from and to the heart. The monologues and two character scenes cover such diverse subjects as alcoholism, love, drugs, teacher-student rapport, teen pregnancy, suicide, and much more.
