2024 SEASON

It's A Wonderful Life

November 14 - December 23, 2024*

A DBFRT annual tradition!

Based on the film by Frank Capra

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!

Staged with in-the-round seating.

Running time 2 hours 30 minutes.
