We were so grateful to host 30 students from the Kansas State School for the Blind at last night's performance of It's a Wonderful Life: a live radio play! Education Manager Ashlea Christopher moderated a post-show discussion with students and members of the cast where we discussed and shared how certain sounds were created for our radio play as well providing an opportunity to handle some props, as well! Thank you to all who played a part in making this a meaningful, fun and successful event!
