b'If you are ready to get into the Christmas spirit you can\\u2019t do much better than the American Blues Theater\\u2019s staged radio show version of Frank Capra\\u2019s classic \\u201cIt\\u2019s a Wonderful Life.\\u201d

In this production, the theater is set up to give the illusion that you are part of the studio audience for a live radio broadcast in 1944 at WABT Studio on Belmont Avenue in Chicago.

This is indeed a bon a fide radio-style performance with each person playing several characters in different voices, aided by requisite sound effects to augment the dialog in lieu of visual cues.

Playing at Stage 773, 1225 W Belmont, Chicago through January 5, 2019. For information visit http://stage773.com
