The staff and children of Youth Theatre Northwest are excited to present Islanders with a creative homemade gift. Last month, we brought our talented teen actors to Seattle’s Jack Straw Productions to record “It’s a Wonderful Life.” We are excited to release this charming and free radio drama as a special holiday gift for you.

Visit our website YouthTheatre.org to audio stream the show. Our show will also broadcast on KMIH (Mercer Island) on Christmas Eve at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. and on Christmas Day at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Performed in its 1940s historic radio drama format, the cherished story  “It’s a Wonderful Life” will transport you to the town of Bedford Falls, where miracles happen and hope is born.

With the New Year before us, we are excited for our upcoming projects in 2016 and the thousands of children whose spirits we’ll empower with the magic of creativity and live theatre. If you are making year-end donations, please consider Youth Theatre Northwest. Your contribution will set the stage where our children will shine. Or join our community by registering your child in one of our dynamic Winter Classes and experience one of our fantastic shows.
