A DBFRT annual tradition! Based on the 1947 film by Frank Capra which is based on the 1943 short story "The Greatest Gift" by Philip Van Doren Stern.
Directed by Cheryl Schaar
The beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life on the DBFRT stage. Based on the 1946 Frank Capra film, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds one fateful Christmas Eve. George is the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose childhood dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family obligation and civic duty. His guardian angel Clarence descends on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him—by showing what the world would have been like had he never been born—that his has been, after all, a wonderful life. This theatrically staged adaptation overflows with warmth, humor, and Christmas joy.
This holiday classic sells out year after year -- don't wait to get your tickets!
Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes with intermission.
*No performance on Thanksgiving Day (Nov 26).
