It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play Author-approved changes for a larger cast and for adding an intermission NOTES FOR PERFORMING WITH A LARGER CAST As written, the play is performed by five actors, however, the play can be performed with as many actors as the director chooses. The first thing to do is look at the character list on pages 6-7 of the Playscripts script. Since the characters of Jake, Sally, Lana and Harry “Jazzbo” are those of the actors at WBFR, they can be eliminated from the breakdown (Freddie Filmore should remain, as he serves as the Announcer). So, if you take the character list, starting from Mary Hatch down, you can distribute these roles as you see fit. Additionally, some smaller character roles written as men may be played by women (changing the related pronouns to feminine). However, please keep in mind that this is a period piece set in the 1940s and certain characters (Nick, the bartender, for example) would more than likely be men. Once you’ve decided on your breakdown, the only part of the script which may require some changing is the Stage Manager’s pre-show announcements on page 11 and Freddie Filmore’s introduction of actors on page 12. As noted above, since the play is written for five actors, those are the only ones introduced here. When performing with more than five actors, your options would be to either eliminate these introductions, or, if performing with less than ten actors (for example), you can add the additional introductions below. If adding additional introductions, those in the current script may require slight modifications based on who is playing what role (for example, if the actress playing Lana Sherwood is reading only the role of Violet Bick, the “and others” should be struck from her introduction). My feeling is that these introductions should not go on and on, so if you are performing with more than ten actors, my thought would be to eliminate the introductions entirely (jumping from Freddie’s “…the spirit moves you.” on page 12 to the top of page 13). So, for your consideration, here are some additional character introductions followed by additional actor/character name suggestions. 1
