It's A Wonderful Life
Adapted by Philip
Grecian, based on the iconic film by Frank Capra, this holiday perennial is re-imagined as a staged radio play in this Canstage production. The heartwarming and timeless story chronicles the life
of George Bailey, an ambitious and restless young man whose loyalty, empathy and generosity tie him to his father's savings-and-loan business, preventing him from living his dream and traveling
the world. Due to various hardships, mishaps and fateful trials over the years – including an economic downturn and the threat of financial ruin - he begins to think himself more valuable dead
than alive. He is preparing to jump off a bridge when his guardian angel Clarence, hoping to earn his wings, steps in to show him the value of his life. Nov. 24 - Dec.
20 Bluma Appel Theatre, St. Lawrence Centre, 27 Front St. E. Tickets: 416 368.3110 or online by clicking here |
