It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, by Joe Landry, is a new stage adaptation of the classic movie. North Carolina Stage Company and immediate theatre project (known as itp) present this warm and funny play December 1st and 2nd, in the Duke Power Theater at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center. Both companies are based in Asheville, NC, and this production marks their Charlotte debut.

In this clever adaptation, playwright Joe Landry gives new life to the familiar story by setting it in the studios of the fictional WBFR Radio on Christmas Eve, 1946. The five hard-working radio actors of WBFR portray dozens of characters from the movie, switching effortlessly between voices. Underscoring the radio drama are live sound effects, utilizing the old-fashioned techniques of radio shows like The Lone Ranger or The Shadow. 

 

The play stars Asheville actors Lauren Fortuna, Hans Meyer, Willie Repoley (a Charlotte native), Joe Sturgeon, and Kathryn Temple. It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play is directed by Hans Meyer, co-founder of immediate theatre project. Meyer has directed past itp productions The Glass Menagerie (2004) and All My Sons (2006) and is a graduate of Guilford College, where he met itp Producing Director Willie Repoley and Managing Director Lauren Fortuna. 

 

NC Stage was founded in 2001 by husband and wife team Charlie and Angie Flynn-McIver (also a Charlotte native) and is currently in its 6th season at its 99 seat theatre in Downtown Asheville.  www.ncstage.org
