This Wonderful Life
Written by Steve Murray
Conceived by Mark Setlock
Nov. 11 – Dec. 23, 2006

A beloved holiday story is told with a theatrical twist in this one-man adaptation of the Frank Capra film It’s a Wonderful Life. The plight of George Bailey is seen in a fresh light and through different eyes. It’s Christmas Eve. Fearing he’s failed his family, his friends and his community, George considers suicide, until an angel-in-waiting named Clarence shows him how bleak life would have been if he’d never existed. One actor faithfully creates more than two dozen characters from the film while he also serves as narrator, offering amusing commentary on the action. You don’t have to be a die-hard fan of the film to enjoy this new spin on the heartfelt holiday classic.

This Wonderful Life runs approximately 70 minutes and is performed without an intermission.
