The Ripon Area Community Theatre is holding open auditions for its fall Radio Play production of, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” by Joe Landry. “‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ is based on the story ‘The Greatest Gift’ by Philip Van Doren Stern.”
Auditions will be held Sunday, October 27th from 6-8 pm, and Monday, October 28th from 6-8 pm; at the First Congregational Church, 220 Ransom Street, in Ripon. Performances will be December 13th-15th.
“It’s a Wonderful Life,” follows the life of George Bailey, an average person living in Bedford Falls. George has aspirations to see the world, but life (and at times the town curmudgeon and wealthy banker, Henry Potter) always manages to get in the way of those dreams. When crisis strikes, George reflects on the course of his life. With the help of his guardian angel Clarence, Angel Second Class, George realizes that he’s had a wonderful life after all.
The production will be staged in the style of a classic radio play, in front of a live audience; and will include live sound effects performed. Auditions for actors and Foley Artists (sound effect) are opened to adult performers and children as young as 14.
