LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Ed Asner Family Center is creating holiday magic as it presents the 4th annual reading of "It's a Wonderful Life," live on-stage December 14 at the Garry Marshall Theatre and available for streaming on TrillerTV. Tom Kenny and the beloved cast of "SpongeBob SquarePants," hosted by Tom Bergeron with special appearances by legend Mark Hamill, comedian Ron Funches ("Trolls," "Inside Out 2"), and Joey King ("The Act," "The Kissing Booth" series), are set to bring this holiday classic to life in a staged live radio play, complete with special effects, a band, and surprise guests to round out this all-star cast. Previous celebrity participants included Jason Sudeikis, Rosario Dawson, Brendan Fraser, Christina Applegate, and Pete Davidson. Victor Nelli is returning as director and producer, with Cellin Gluck, Karin Beck, and Tom McAndrew producing.
"With the challenges of the pandemic now behind us, we're introducing an exciting new twist this year. While we will continue streaming to thousands of viewers worldwide, this year's performance will be a 'Live Radio Play,' with all the performers together on stage. I am eternally grateful to the cast of 'SpongeBob SquarePants' and our special guests, including Mark Hamill, Tom Bergeron, and Ron Funches, for coming in and making sure 'fun' is the word for the evening. I also thank the family of Philip Van Doren Stern for allowing us once again to present this incredible story. This film meant so much to my father and me, and I feel that each time we take part in 'It's a Wonderful Life,' we honor his spirit," said Matthew Asner, Founder and CEO of The Ed Asner Family Center.
Navah Paskowitz-Asner, Founder and Executive Director of The Ed Asner Family Center, said, "Your support of this incredible event enables The Ed Asner Family Center to carry on with our groundbreaking programming, including transformative initiatives like The Academy and The Dating Spectrum. These programs open doors, build connections, and empower individuals and families to thrive. It's through the dedication and generosity of supporters like you that we're able to create meaningful opportunities for growth, understanding, and inclusion. Together, we're making a lasting difference, and we truly couldn't achieve this without your commitment and support."
