Michael didn’t always enjoy working at the coffee shop. Costumers could be absolute dicks and pay could be better. One thing he absolutely liked about the job was messing with Ana. Ana was short- topping out at 5’ 3”. His short coworker refused to accept her height, often trying to reach plates or cups in high places.

On December 7th, at 7:30pm, I attended It’s A Wonderful Life, A Live Radio Play. Illinois State University’s adaptation of this classic film took place in the Center for the Performing Arts.

Although vastly different from the cinema version, this adaptation was very successful due to the congruous 1940s costumes, the use of varied voices to portray numerous characters, and…
