STERLING PLAYMAKERS PRESENTS:

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE

 Come celebrate the season with this family favorite so touching it will make your heart soar with the angels. IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE opens December 2 and runs for two weekends at the theatre at Sterling Middle School in Sterling. Friday and Saturday performances, December 2, 3, 9, and 10, are at 8:00pm. Sunday matinees are at 3:00pm on December 4 and 11. Tickets are $12 for General Admission and are available at the door or online via PayPal at www.sterlingplaymakers.com.

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE is the holiday classic by James W. Rodgers, based on the Film by Frank Capra and story by Philip Van Doren Stern, and tells the story of George Bailey (Justin Fox), the everyman from a small town of Bedford Falls, who has spent his life serving his community – often at the cost of his own happiness. His dreams of escape and adventure have been repeatedly squashed by notions of family obligation and civic duty. It is Christmas Eve, and George's guardian angel, Clarence (Ted Fredrick), descends to save him from despair by showing him how dismal life in his hometown would have been if he had never been born and reminding him that it has been, after all, a wonderful life...

This sparkling and magical Playmakers production, directed by Kathleen Bleutge and produced by Emilie Pugh, wonderfully captures the holiday spirit and has all of your favorite characters: George and Mary (Corinne Fox), Clarence, Ma Bailey (Joni Carluzzo), Uncle Billy (Gregg Carter), Aunt Tilly (Jill Hughes), Violet (Liz Mykietyn), Bert (Tim Silk), Ernie (Kevin Kellenberger), and of course the Scrooge-like character, Mr. Potter (Bill Byrnes), plus many more. IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE not only celebrates the Season, it also celebrates the American philosophy of life: that hard work, fair play, and the love and support of family and community will be rewarded.
