What better way to celebrate Halloween then to take your children trick or treating and then take them in costume to a live theater performance of "It's A Wonderful Life" at Leddy Center! All costumes will be judged on stage following the performance on Friday, October 31, and the best costume will win a $50 prize!!

No one is born to be a failure. No one is poor who has friends. Simple thoughts that were the inspiration for one of the richest, most uplifting, most beloved American films ever made. Frank Capra's classic tale of George Bailey and his Christmas Eve visit with a guardian angel was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. After 68 years, it remains as powerful and moving as the day it was made.

Leddy Center in Epping is proud to present the stage production of Frank Capra's "It's A Wonderful Life", for two more weekends and two Wednesday matinees at 2:00pm, October 24- Nov. 9. The role of George Bailey, played by Jimmy Stewart in the movie, is played brilliantly by Leddy veteran, Don LaDuke, and the role of Mary Bailey, played by Donna Reed in the movie, is played to perfection by Leddy favorite, Jane Button. With an all star cast including Steve Koch as Mr. Potter, Dr. Paul Gustavson, as Pop Bailey, Lynn Rockwell, as Ma Bailey, Mike Coppinger, as the Superintendent of Angels, Greg Dixon, as the adorable Clarence the Angel, Kevin Murphy, as Uncle Billy, Richard Gouin, as Harry, George's brother, Greg deZarn O'Hare, as the pharmacist, Mr. Gower, Dominic Barbarito, as young George, Bob Taylor, as Officer Bert, and Matt Hutchins, as Ernie the cab driver, plus many other Bedford Falls townsfolk, " It's A Wonderful Life" comes alive on stage with all the power and emotion you expect from this all time classic story.

Sponsored by ACE Hardware/Ben Franklin Store in Raymond, NH and Hurlbert Toyota of Epping, and partially sponsored by Popovers at Brickyard Square in Epping, and sponsored in part by THE SHARK at 102.1 and 105.3 FM and Seacoast Coke, "It's a Wonderful Life" is being presented Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30pm and Sundays and two Wednesday afternoons, at 2:00pm.
