INDIANAPOLIS — The Buck Creek Players will present It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry. Opening on Fri., Dec. 1 and continuing for three weekends through Sun. Dec. 17, curtain times are at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, with 2:30 p.m. matinees on Sundays. All performances are at the Buck Creek Playhouse, 11150 Southeastern Ave.
It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play transposes the cinematic classic (and holiday television tradition) to the theater by staging the story as if it was a 1940s live radio broadcast in front of a studio audience. Five actors perform the voices of dozens of characters while a live foley sound man helps create the atmosphere. As in the film, everyman George Bailey must learn that “no man is a failure who has friends” (and a little divine intervention), when he must face off against local robber baron (and all around curmudgeon) Henry F. Potter.
Admission is $18 for adults and $16 for children, students, and senior citizens (62 and up). Reservations are recommended and may be made online at www.buckcreekplayers.com or by calling 317-862-2270. Group discounts are also available for parties of 10 or more when purchased online in a single transaction.
