George Bailey finally Learns that when a Door Closes a Window Opens.

Produced by one of Seattle’s best kept secrets, West Seattle’s Twelfth Night Productions, a live radio play version of the classic Christmas movie It’s a Wonderful Life has just opened up at Kenyon Hall.

In 1974, Garrison Keillor and Minnesota Public radio debuted A Prairie Home Companion, in an auditorium at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota with only 12 people in the audience…the rest is history. On Tuesday, Feb 4, Annex Theatre and Bret Fetzer, opened Story & Song, a storytelling program; in 10 or 15 year we will probably be saying the same thing about him.
