KC Theatre is Holding Auditions for "It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play"

September 24, 2024


The KC Theatre Department is excited to announce our fall semester production, It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry, coming to KC Main Campus on Dec. 6, 7, and 8!

This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast. With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life on one fateful Christmas Eve.

Here's what people have to say about the show.

"One of the best holiday shows around. This is a fresh and inventive way of reconnecting with a classic story of love and redemption." -Mary Houlihan, Chicago Sun-Times

"Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life is a classic that'll never be surpassed by any remake. But what this play has to sacrifice, it makes up for with its original twist, its clever use of props, entertaining voices, and a love story that you want to witness over and over again." -Teresa Errico, Fairfield County Weekly (Connecticut)

Auditions will be public and open to everyone—students, faculty, staff, and members of the community.

  • Date/Time: Thursday, 9/26 from 5:30-8:30 PM
  • Location: Auditorium, KC Main Campus (HB Building)
  • What to Prepare: A 60-second monologue and up to 16 bars of a song (acapella). If you don't have an audition song, a single verse of Happy Birthday will do.
