It’s a Wonderful Life

December 7-9 & 14-16, 2018
Directed by: Taraleigh Casteen
Assistant Director: Connie Chapman
Produced by: Kathy Strozak
The saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been squashed by family obligation and civic duty, whose guardian angel has to descent 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. This faithful adaptation has all your favorite characters: George and Mary Hatch, Clarence, Uncle Billy, Violet, and, of course, the Scrooge-like villain, Mr. Potter. This fine dramatization not only celebrates the faith of the season, it also celebrates the American philosophy of life: hard work, fair play and the love and support of one's family and community will be rewarded.
A Play in Two Acts by; James W. Rodgers
Based on the film by; Frank Capra
And the story by; Phillip Van Doren Stern
It’s a Wonderful Life is presented through special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing Company

Play On

February 14 - March 3, 2019
Directed by: Taraleigh Casteen and James Clarke
This is the hilarious story of a theater group trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty authoress who keeps revising the script. Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance in which anything that can go wrong does. When the authoress decides to give a speech on the state of the modern theatre during the curtain calls, the audience is treated to a madcap climax to a thoroughly hilarious romp. Even the sound effects reap their share of laughter. As everyone in theatre knows, when faced with adversity, Play On!
Play On! is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French.
