NPC Radio Play: It's a Wonderful Life
The National Press Club, in association with CBS Radio Network and American Heritage Magazine, presents Marty Bufalini’s “It’s a Wonderful Life: The Radio Show,” an adaptation of the classic story of George Bailey who, exasperated by life's challenges, wishes he'd never been born. Granted his wish by his guardian angel, he learns the positive impact that each of our lives has on so many others.
Featuring 19 members of the National Press Club covering 43 roles, we hope you'll join us in this NPC holiday tradition.
