It's a Wonderful Life: On the Air

November 29, 2024 - December 23, 2024

It’s a Wonderful Life: On the Air by Peter Church

The feel-good story of It’s a Wonderful Life follows George Bailey, a small town Building and Loan clerk who, on a cold Christmas Eve in 1946, believes the world would have been better if he had never been born. Salvation comes in the form of a dotty angel-in-waiting. The play is given an exciting twist by being told in the evocative setting of a radio studio with songs, charming old-fashioned radio commercials and period jingles.

Home Deliveries by Catherine Léger translated by Leanna Brodie, in association with Ruby Slippers Theatre

Violette is on mat leave. Florence is on sick leave. Both of them are moms, tied to their young children by invisible wires of steel… while their spouses barely notice they’re alive. These two bored, abandoned and dissatisfied women join forces to fight back in the most hilarious way possible: by going on a mission to seduce a string of lovers… all without walking out the front door.
