Leddy Center to Stage IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, 10/24-11/9

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 three weekends and two Wednesday matinees at 2:00pm, October 24- Nov. 9.
