For the first time in 20 months, the James Wade Theater in Edmonds will be opening its doors to present “It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” performed by the non-profit Edmonds Driftwood Players.

The purely-acoustic production directed by Craig Schieber will run from Dec. 2-19.

The Christmas classic follows George Bailey, an apathetic businessman who wishes he had never been born. When an angel visits George and takes him on a guided tour of what the world would’ve been like had he never existed, George realizes the impact his existence has on the world and people around him.

Foley artist Robert Quick and his team are credited for the play’s sound effects, which will be performed live on stage alongside the actors.
