RADIO DAYS

By Sally Deering

It’s a Wonderful Life Now On Stage at MST in Hoboken Players Present Classic Film as a Radio Play, Till Dec. 23

E

ver wonder what it’s like to put on a radio play? Do you bring out the tissues every holiday season when the film It’s a Wonderful Life is shown on TV? Well, if you like the film starring Jimmy Stewart, you’ll love the play now delighting audiences at Mile Square Theatre in Hoboken.

Live on stage, now through Sun, Dec. 23, Mile Square Theatre (MST) revives its little gem of a play, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: a Live Radio Play by Joe Landry. For this production, MST transforms into a live recording studio in the Golden Age of Radio, and theater-goers become the studio audience as the show goes “On Air” to broadcast Frank Capra’s holiday story about life, death and the true meaning of love and family.

“This is the fourth time we’ve produced this play, and each production draws bigger audiences, MST’s Artistic Director Chris O’Connor says. “For me personally, I never tire of it. The show is lifeaffirming, and this year Joseph Discher takes the helm as director.”

Discher’s wellknown for his work at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, stints Off-Broadway and

the Board of Chosen Freeholders.

Mile Square Theatre is a member of The New Jersey Theatre Alliance. The theater company has carved out a niche in Hoboken as a professional theater that does great theater for both adults and children. In this case, It’s a Wonderful Life can appeal to the entire family.

“I’m always moved by the story of George Bailey’s journey,” O’Connor says, “and where he comes to truly appreciate the values of community and family.”

Now they’re here to share their dream with you and your family.

Everyone will be grinning from ear to ear as agile tumblers ricochet around the stage, elastic contortionists twist into unfathomable shapes and expert jugglers exchange an endless array of objects. Let the infectious joy and effervescent energy of Ethiopia’s astonishing circus artists warm your heart and inspire you to dream big.”
