American Blues Theater, Chicago’s second oldest Equity ensemble, opens its 2010-2011 season with a return engagement of the critically acclaimed “It’s a Wonderful Life: Live at the Biograph!” directed by Marty Higginbotham, in the Victory Gardens’ Richard Christiansen Theater. Nov. 26 – Dec. 31. From the moment the audiences walk through the doors, they are transported back to a 1940s radio broadcast of Frank Capra’s holiday classic ?”It’s a Wonderful Life,” complete with commercial breaks and live Foley sound effects. The original score and stellar cast of seven bring the entire town of Bedford Falls to life in a holiday production that is the perfect choice for young and old alike.
