"It's A Wonderful Life"

The Gilbert Theater presents "It's A Wonderful Life" by James Rodgers. The play tells the story of George Bailey, the everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family obligation and civic duty, whose guardian angel has to descend on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him – by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born – that his has been, after all, a wonderful life. Shows run Thursday through Sunday each week from Nov. 23 to Dec. 17; verify dates and times on event website.
