It's a Wonderful Life radio drama

Last Updated 11/4/2024

In the Rhea County Courthouse Dec. 7, at 2 p.m.

Join us this holiday season for this year’s production of It’s A Wonderful Life at 2 p.m. on Dec. 7 at the historic Rhea County Courthouse in Downtown Dayton. 

This beloved holiday classic will come to life in the form of a 1940s radio theater production sponsored jointly by the Rhea Heritage Preservation Foundation and the Tennessee Valley Theatre.

It’s a Wonderful Life is a 1946 American Christmas supernatural drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra. 

It is based on the short story and booklet, The Greatest Gift, self-published by Philip Van Doren Stern in 1943, which itself is loosely based on the 1843 Charles Dickens novella, A Christmas Carol.

Tickets are $5 at the door or available HERE.
