The Royal Players will present “It’s a Wonderful Life” on December 1-4 and December 8-11. The play is by Doug Rand, produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.
This faithful, fast-moving stage adaptation of the classic film features fluid scene changes, reasonable set requirements, and scores of beefy roles, particularly for women. It’s not only a joyful Christmas tale — it’s the gorgeous love story of George and Mary Bailey, a vivid portrait of the Greatest Generation, a descent into the darkest hour of a man trapped by circumstance, and a powerful meditation on what makes a meaningful life.
More information about tickets will be posted closer to show dates.
