WELCOME BACK TO LIVE THEATRE AT SLO REP!

SLO Repertory Theatre will reopen its doors with a special staged reading for the holidays: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE – A LIVE RADIO PLAY!
San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre will open its doors once again this December with a special holiday gift for our community: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE – A LIVE RADIO PLAY! Frank Capra’s beloved holiday movie classic comes to life in this delightful staged reading. Adapted to be performed as a 1940s radio broadcast, complete with live Foley sound effects and featuring just a handful of actors playing dozens of roles, the story of beleaguered building and loan owner George Bailey and his affable helper angel, Clarence unfolds one fateful Christmas Eve as you’ve never seen it before. Bring the whole family to rediscover this Christmas classic!
IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE – A LIVE RADIO PLAY! runs December 10-18 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 7 pm and Saturdays at 2 pm. SLO REP is located at 888 Morro Street in downtown San Luis Obispo. Ticket prices range from $20-$25 and are available at www.slorep.org or by calling (805) 786-2440.
Please note: Tickets on sale Thursday, November 11th at slorep.org.
ABOUT THE SHOW
This staged reading will feature some very familiar faces, including SLO REP long-time staff Kevin Harris, Kerry DiMaggio, Suzy Newman, Patty Thayer, Dave Linfield and Allison Rajcevic. Special guest artists Michael Siebrass and Tom Ammon will also join the fun, taking on the roles of miserly curmudgeon Henry F. Potter and wingless angel Clarence. This is a labor of love for SLO REP staff, bringing a little holiday cheer to our community after a very long dry spell. There are only six performances planned for December but keep an eye out for more good news soon about SLO REP’s 2022 Winter/Spring “Mini-Season.”
