Ensemble Theatre Company’s current production of the radio play “It’s a Wonderful Life” is, like the classic movie it’s based on, a feel-good holiday respite from all the noise going on right now, from shopping to the never-ending political brouha-ha. If you want to experience endorphin promoting laughs and a few cathartic tears in fast-paced and utterly enjoyable live theater, this is the one to go see! Dec. 10 – 15 and 18 – 22 at the New Vic Theatre. Tickets.
