It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play is an adaptation by Joe Landry 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 created by Foley artists/actors. During this process, I focused heavily on helping the actors develop clear and distinct characters through a series of voice and movement exercises. One of my goals for this production was to welcome and encourage the inclusion of performers from diverse backgrounds. Bedford Falls is meant to represent an honest and genuine America- and our America today is one of great racial, ethnic, and gender diversity.
