Based on the film by Frank Capra, this 25th anniversary production is directed by Executive Artistic Director Gwendolyn Whiteside with music direction by ensemble member Michael Mahler. George Bailey, the everyman from small town Bedford Falls whose dreams of escape were stopped by family obligation and civic duty, has fallen onto desperate times. Told as a radio play with original music and classic holiday carols, the annual production features favorite American Blues actors.
