It's A Wonderful Life (Radio Play)

Connecticut Repertory Theatre’s first radio play! This script was adapted by Philip Grecian from the original 1946 film by Frank Capra. Directed by UConn Professor of Vocal Training, Jennifer Scapetis-Tycer, this production will be a pre-recorded performance, with eight opportunities to tune in via zoom. In this production, Director Scapetis-Tycer reimagines (through sound) this heart-warming story featuring a huge cast of characters complete with “commercials” and a Foley sound artist.
