Auditions were held virtually on September 24 and 26, 2020 and 70
people signed up. Congratulations to over 40 actors who obtained roles in
It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry. The play is directed by Fauquier Community Theatre’s Betsy Hansen with Sonia Bronder as
the Assistant Director, Lighting, and Tech Designer.

The beloved American holiday classic will be brought to life as a live

ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the virtual screen , the
story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers what’s
meaningful in life on that fateful Christmas Eve in 1946.
