Last month, Gorham High School (GHS) held their fall production of “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play,” written by Philip Van Doren Stern. The play, directed by GHS English teacher Josie Tierney-Fife, was streamed live on Zoom this year due to the coronavirus restrictions currently in place. Cast members were each in their own classrooms performing and most held multiple roles throughout the play, changing voices and/or costumes to differentiate. Despite the challenging restrictions a virtual play holds, it was a tremendous success overall. It was a classic feel-good story thoroughly enjoyed by everyone watching from the comfort of their own homes; helping audience viewers get into the spirit of the upcoming holiday season.
