“It’s a Wonderful Life” is a timeless and beloved classic in the realm of American cinema. Directed by Frank Capra and released in 1946, this heartwarming film tells the story of George Bailey, played by James Stewart, a small-town banker on the verge of despair who is shown what life would have been like had he never been born, thanks to the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence.
The 2-week rehearsals will begin on Friday, Nov. 2. The show will be open on Thursday, Nov. 16 and close that Sunday.
