Dear Friends of Cake,
We hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy and safe this holiday season. We are sad to announce—for the second year in a row—that we will not be presenting It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play this year.
We sincerely hope to bring this beloved show back to the stage and see you all again *next* year in 2022.
In the meantime, we thought you might enjoy this program from the Queens Public Library (not Violet Bick's beloved Manhattan, but still New York City!) about the making of the film. It airs online tonight at 6PM EST.
All the best,
Cake Productions

Dear Friends of Cake,
We hope that you and yours are safe and healthy. We are sad to announce that we will not be presenting It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play this year.

Over the years we have so enjoyed bringing this holiday classic to life for you with the help of many talented artists. We'd like to take this moment to say thanks to them for populating Bedford Falls on stage, and thanks to you for coming out to join us!

Although this would be the perfect year for an actual radio play, the logistics of that are unfortunately very different than the live version. After careful consideration, we had to conclude that we wouldn’t be able to bring the same quality of work to you all this year, and we didn’t want to be another “Rockefeller Christmas Tree” of 2020.

And while we won't be seeing one another this holiday season, we'll be together in spirit. And we sure hope you’ll rejoin us in 2021!

In the meantime, read on below for some IAWL trivia. And you can watch the film version—or the lost ending—on NBC.com.

All the best,
Cake Productions
