'It's a Wonderful Life' in Ojai
Story presented as radio play

The Ojai ACT Art Center Theater, a nonprofit community ensemble, presents a live radio show "It's A Wonderful Life" for two weekends, Dec. 14 to 16 and 21 to 23, at Ojai ACT, 113 S. Montgomery St.

Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and 2 p.m. Sundays.

The cast will be dressed in 1940's garb. Patrons who come dressed in period fashion will receive free refreshments during intermission.

This Christmas classic is about "Everyman" George Bailey who, in a moment of despair and shame, thinks of committing suicide. Instead, he rediscovers the love of family and how his life made a dramatic difference to many in his community.

Fifteen voice actors will play 63 roles to recreate oldtime radio drama. The show includes keyboard music and advertisements about local businesses.

Tickets are $18 general public and $15 for students, seniors and Art Center members.
