In the Press:
"Landry's reworking of the familiar story puts you into the audience for a radio theatre version in the 1940s. You're cordially invited to respond to the APPLAUSE sign, you'll watch the creation of those ingenious radio sound effects, and —most of all— you'll be engaged by the deft ballet before the big old microphones established by director Emily Rankin for these very capable actors."
--CTX Live Theatre
"I recommend Penfold Theatre Company's rendition of It's a Wonderful Life without reservation. The script and acting are first-rate and the general store setting transports you to a simpler time. This is by far one of my favorite things I've done this holiday season."
