It's a Wonderful Life Radio Show-Players de Noc-December 19th (Better than Broadway and Free!)

 It’s a Wonderful Life is a Christmas favorite and a long-standing tradition. This live radio-style show draws a large crowd each year, and admission is free. It’s one of the ways this theater gives back to the community during the holidays. Considering how many productions they stage throughout the year—often selling out—this feels like the cherry on top of their seasonal activities.

What are the holidays if you’re not going to enjoy them fully? I know plenty of people who stay home and end up missing the many festive events happening not only in this community but in neighboring ones as well. You don’t want to be too busy, of course, but catching a few highlights—like the Christmas lighting in Gladstone, the parade in Escanaba (which I can’t attend this year), and this show—adds so much magic to the season.

Picture this holiday scenario: You have visitors in town, and you decide to head to a local restaurant for dinner and cocktails. You’re dressed well and in good spirits, so you decide to top off the night with a beautiful Christmas show. After your last hot cocoa—whether that’s plain, crème de cacao, crème de menthe, or something in between—you head over to the theater.

Tune into the holidays!
We didn't have VR immersion. 
We had to show up
but it was a rich experience!

When the show ends, you step outside to find a light dusting of snow. Everything looks bright and peaceful. The downtown lights look like a tunnel You’ve had a wonderful evening: enjoying the town, taking in free entertainment, and spending time with family and friends. That, after all, is what the holidays are about. So pull on your Christmas sweaters, scarves, hats, and mittens, and enjoy the true spirit of the season. 

As a final note, if you’re interested in being part of this production, auditions are coming up—check the theater’s webpage for details. Bonifas is better than Broadway because here you can experience the joy in and outside the theater-the immersive experience.
