Synopsis:
It's a Wonderful Life has become almost as familiar
as Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The story is a natural
for a stage adaptation: the saga of George Bailey,
the Everyman from the small town of
Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and
adventure have been quashed by family obligation
and civic duty, whose guardian angel has to descend
on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and
to remind him—by showing him what the world
would have been like had he never been born—
that his has been, after all, a wonderful life.
This faithful adaptation has all your favorite characters:
George and Mary Hatch, Clarence, Uncle Billy,
Violet, and, of course, the Scrooge-like villain,
Mr. Potter. This fine dramatization not only
celebrates the faith of the season, it also celebrates
the American philosophy of life: hard work,
fair play and the love and support of one's
family and community will be rewarded.
December 3 – 13. Tickets $20
