TORONTO – Accessible Media announced today it will be delivering a Christmas gift to AMI-audio listeners with a special audio play of the Frank Capra classic, It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry based on the movie.
Listeners can tune in to AMI-audio on Thursday, December 24, at 2 p.m. ET to hear George Bailey, Mary Hatch, Mr. Potter and Clarence brought to life by AMI-audio show hosts, producers and contributors.
The 1946 film, which has become a holiday tradition for many, stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a desperately frustrated businessman who is thinking of ending it all on Christmas Eve. A visit from an angel named Clarence, played by Henry Travers, shows George what life would have been like if he had never existed.
The AMI-audio radio play, produced by special arrangement with Playscripts Inc., features Kelly and Company‘s Kelly MacDonald (above, right) and Ramya Amuthan (left) as George Bailey and Mary Hatch, respectively; Double Tap Canada’s Steven Scott as Clarence; and NOW with Dave Brown‘s Dave Brown as Mr. Potter.
Additional AMI-audio hosts participating include Outdoors with Lawrence Gunther‘s Lawrence Gunther and Low Vision Moments host Jennie Bovard.
“Presenting this holiday classic by showcasing AMI’s stable of talent will thrill regular and new listeners alike,” said John Melville, vice-president, content development and programming with AMI-audio/AMI-tv. “The AMI team staged the play virtually from the safety of their homes during the current pandemic.”
All of AMI-audio’s programming can be streamed online at the newly redesigned AMI.ca and is of course available through TV providers. The full AMI-audio schedule is available here. To find the AMI-audio channel with your cable provider, please use this online channel guide.
