Famous film’s feel-good story comes to life on stage

This holiday season, bring the family together and cozy up with the classic It’s A Wonderful Life, the stage adaptation of the famous Frank Capra film, at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre.

Loved for generations, It’s A Wonderful Life takes us on George Bailey’s journey of self-discovery, under the guidance of his unforgettable guardian angel, Clarence. Just when he thinks things can’t get any worse, George realizes they couldn’t be any better.

On stage through Dec. 23, this remarkable story reminds us to appreciate the simple joys, even when the world’s demands get in the way. The ring of a bell. Flower petals in a pocket. The love of family. The support of friends. These fill our hearts and lives with joy and teach us to value what is truly important – and what makes this a wonderful life.
