It’s a Wonderful Life is a stage adaptation of Frank Capra’s masterpiece film. This is the saga of George Bailey, the “Everyman” from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been squashed by family obligations and civic duty, and 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 he has had, after all, a wonderful life.
Thank you so much to everyone who joined us on October 15 and 16 for Auditions for our final production of the year, It’s a Wonderful Life. We were excited to see such a large turnout, although that did mean that there just wasn’t enough space to cast everyone- but if you didn’t make it in this time, we’d encourage you to try again for a future show!
