Matlin Studio Youth Theater
It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play
Director: Kelly Parker
Character Breakdown
*10-12 teens (most likely 6 males, 4 females)
*Age Range 12-19 to play multiple speaking parts.
*1-2 "sound effects" people who will be part of the show, but will not have actually speaking roles – creativity is a must. All parts will not be totally memorized, but actors must read fluently and be willing to work on voice and diction as directed for the various parts they play in the show.
