This upcoming weekend the Riverbend Players will present It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play. The production is based on the classic holiday movie with a clever twist thrown in: the story is staged as a live radio broadcast. Actors portray numerous characters, and sound effects are done through Foley artists.
It’s a Wonderful Life is about the life of George Bailey, a generous and well-meaning man who has become too downcast and tired to continue living. It will take help from a lovable angel to show George what life would be like if he wasn’t born for George to have a change of heart and understand the true spirit of the holidays.
Performances will be hosted Dec. 9 at 7 pm, Dec. 10 at 7 pm, and a matinee at Dec. 11 at 2 pm. The shows will be held at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem. Dates
The NCRD Performing Arts Center is located at: 36155 9th St., Nehalem OR 97131.
