It’s a Wonderful Life is a fantastic play based on the classic holiday film by Frank Capra, adapted for the stage by James W. Rodgers. Come on out to celebrate these students' hard work and watch this story of magical joy and the endurance of the human spirit. Based on the holiday film, this play explores the plight of George Bailey as he faces financial and familial challenges on Christmas Eve. With the help of our all-knowing and kind-spirited Clara Oddbody (Angel Second-Class), George learns about the impact he’s had in his community, the true meaning of friendship, and just how important it is to reach out for help.
Pictured: Nya Salahdeen (12th) & Liam Perez (11th) as Clara Oddbody & George Bailey
