The Snowline Players are hosting a 'radio theater' production of "It's a Wonderful Life" in December, and after a nail-biting audition I got the spot of George! Woot! I really was counting on being the announcer because of my voice, and didn't think that I'd be able to pull off the Jimmy Stewart role but the director has confidence in me and I'm all set to go!
The show is going to be different than theater events that I've been in before. We have a script that we read from the stage. We're going to be clustered around a microphone like radio serials from the 40s were originally taped, but we're also going to be in costume because this takes place in front of an audience. It sounds odd, but it also sounds like lots of fun. The audience is going to be served a fantastic dinner and the cast is the entertainment for the evening. I've watched dinner theater before and loved it, so this is a new twist that promises to be memorable. There are only two shows, and for one I get the announcer and the second I get George. I'm hoping I'll be able to make off with a dinner under my belt by the time this is over!
