A celebration of 65 years as the oldest, continuously operating theatre in the United States, the Glendale Centre Theatre (GCT) couldn't have better kicked its 2012 season into high gear than by mounting Philip Van Doren Stern's adaptation of the Frank Capra classic motion picture It's a Wonderful Life… a beautiful testament to ordinary people who, through the course of doing what they think is right, become everyday heroes who touch the lives of the friends, family, and neighbors around them. Director Diedra Celeste Miranda and producers Brenda and Tim Dietlein have faithfully and lovingly brought this classic piece of celluloid to life on their intimate, but sizeable in-the-square stage surrounded by nearly 400 seats.

The critically acclaimed Glendale Centre Theatre (GCT), now in its 64th year as the longest, continually-operating theatre in the United States, continues its 2011 season with an exuberant and rambunctious production of SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS September 29 through November 19.
