Inspired by the classic American film, It's a Wonderful Life, It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play is performed as a 1940s live radio broadcast in front of a studio audience. Five actors perform the dozens of characters in the radio play as well as produce the sound effects.
The numerous sound effect cues (indicated throughout the script by "SFX") create the mood and add detail to the play. These sound effects are performed live by the actors.
