It's a Wonderful Life

A Classic Theatre presents It's a Wonderful Life - A Live Radio Play, on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from December 6 through December 15, 2024. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays, 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and 2:00 p.m. on Sundays.

Before television, serial programs and special stories were presented as live radio plays, with actors gathered around a couple of microphones, and studio engineers creating sound effects with special (and unlikely) equipment. A Classic Theater has given this treatment to It's a Wonderful Life, telling the story through the actors and the low-tech sound effects. 

The cast of It's a Wonderful Life — A Live Radio Play includes Ashley Carter, Maureen McCluskey, Rick Cirucci, Rich Nowell, Susan Nowell, and Jim Cadigan. Ron Hunsicker will do the sound effects, and David Abraham, an accomplished pianist and vocalist, will provide the music. 

Admission: Tickets are $25.00 for general admission and can be purchased in advance.

• 7:30 p.m. on Fridays, December 6 and 13
• 4:00 p.m. on Saturdays, December 7 and 14

Where: The St. Augustine Waterworks is located at 184 San Marco Avenue in uptown St. Augustine, Florida 32084. See below for directions by vehicle.

Getting There: While the address is 184 San Marco Avenue, the only driveway on San Marco is Exit Only, so it is not available to access the Waterworks.
