Do you love It's a Wonderful Life? Do you love A Christmas Carol? Then you'll be sure to love Theatre 121's world premiere production, It's a Wonderful Christmas Carol. Heartwarming and funny, it provides all the feel-good holiday magic you're searching for. It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol is an original holiday play crafted by local playwrights and inspired by two of the most cherished seasonal stories of all time. In this companion story to It's a Wonderful Life, we return to Bedford Falls, this time to visit the infamous Mr. Potter. When three angels appear on Christmas Eve, even this “warped, frustrated old man” must confront his past, present, and possible future. What follows is a moving, often humorous, and ultimately redemptive journey that explores whether anyone can truly change. This family-friendly production is filled with familiar characters, powerful themes of hope and forgiveness, and the joy of discovering something new in the heart of something beloved. Written by local talents Joel Bennett and Jeff Cook, It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol is a tribute to community, compassion, and the enduring magic of holiday storytelling. Don’t miss your chance to witness this story’s very first telling, right here in your hometown. It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol An Original Play - World Premiere It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol was inspired by The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren Stern, which is the exclusive property of The Greatest Gift Corporation.
