The beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life on the DBFRT stage. Based on the 1946 Frank Capra film, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds one fateful Christmas Eve. George is the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose childhood dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family obligation and civic duty. His guardian angel, Clarence, descends on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him—by showing what the world would have been like had he never been born—that his has been, after all, a wonderful life. This theatrically staged adaptation overflows with warmth, humor, and Christmas joy.
This holiday classic sells out year after year -- don't wait to get your tickets!
Staged with in-the-round seating.
Winner of the 2017/18 AriZoni Awards for Best Overall Production and Best Direction of a Play. Nominations for the 2021/22 AriZoni Awards for Best Direction of a Play and Best Supporting Actor for Tom Endicott (Clarence)!!
