It is indeed a Wonderful Life, thanks to local actors

It is indeed a Wonderful Life, thanks to local actors

BY STEPHEN MILLER

In a time where we have all been affected by COVID-19 economically, in health, in politics and in social interactions, we remain optimistic that times will return back to normal and that life is still wonderful.

Powell River’s Townsite Actors Guild has stepped up its game and figured out how to entertain us throughout these times by producing the famous story of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’ This classic holiday tale is being presented as a radio play throughout the month of December.

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE

What: A radio play performed by the Townsite Actors Guild When: 7 pm, December 6, 8, 9, 13, 22, 23. Where: On CJMP 90.1FM in Powell River, and online at CJMP.ca

Socially distanced and at all times being aware of COVID protocol, Townsite Actors Guild worked with 14 actors from Powell River using the Zoom application for rehearsals and performance readings. The result is a thoroughly entertaining production of the story that will capture the imagination of its audiences both young and old.

The actors are: Todd Caldecott, Stephanie Miller, Andrew Kadler, Bill Garrett, Patrick Lowe, Kathy Szajnfeld, Scott Randolph, Kris Montgomery, Jeremy Buhay, Nicole Narbonne, Will Langlands, Stephen Miller, Doug Southerland and Wendy VanReisen.

The story could be about you or me, about your neighbour or your friend. It is the story of George Bailey, a young man that dreams of glory and lives in hope. He loves and doubts and only Providence puts a final value on his service to humanity.
