It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play Comes to Waterfront Playhouse
The holiday season arrives at the Waterfront Playhouse in Key West with It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, running December 2 through December 17, 2026.
This Mainstage Series production transforms the beloved holiday story into a live radio-style performance, using voice, music, sound effects, ensemble timing, and old-fashioned theatrical charm to bring the classic tale to life in a fresh way.
Instead of a traditional stage adaptation, It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play invites audiences into the atmosphere of a vintage radio broadcast, where performers create the world of the story live in front of the audience. The result is warm, nostalgic, inventive, and perfectly suited for the holiday season in Key West.
For visitors and locals looking for a festive night out in Old Town, this production offers a meaningful seasonal experience inside one of Key West’s most intimate live theater venues. Located at Mallory Square, the Waterfront Playhouse makes it easy to pair the show with dinner, a sunset walk, or an evening downtown.
