Seymour High School to present radio play of Christmas classic

SEYMOUR - Seymour High School will present “It’s a Wonderful Life: Radio Play” at 7 p.m. Dec. 15 and at 2 p.m. Dec. 16.
Admission is $10. 

The one-act play is suitable for all ages.

The play reproduces the Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart holiday classic.
It is set in a 1940s' radio studio with actors playing multiple voice roles, sound effects artists, and announcers.

The studio audience will enjoy the applause signs and meeting the actors before the production as they “report for work” in the 1940s.


“It’s A Wonderful Life” is directed by senior Abigail Andrade. 

Seniors Anna Peel and Stephanie Perez are art directors, senior Bella Torri is stage manager, and junior Rachel Moon is technical director.

The play is being produced by faculty advisors Brandt Schneider, Stephanie Ciccone, and Darlene Keeffe.

Sophomore Michael Starkey plays the iconic Jimmy Stewart role as George Bailey.
Freshman Shyanne Gonzalez makes her SHS stage debut as Mary.

Sophomore Phil Fioretti has the role of announcer Freddie Filmore. 

Junior Eliana Arroyo is the Foley Artist, and junior Sophia Fioretti voices the role of Clara, the novice angel.
The cast includes 15 other students.

In May Seymour High School was awarded a HALO award for Best Contemporary Play. SHS will be producing "Wizard of Oz" in March.

“It’s A Wonderful Life” will be staged at  Seymour High School auditorium, 2 Botsford Road.
Tickets may be purchased at the door, by emailing Ms. Ciccone at sshelinsky@seymourschools.org, or at
