Wonderful Life

George Bailey’s struggle to grasp why life is worth living finds a fresh voice in this enchanting one-person retelling of Frank Capra’s classic film “It’s A Wonderful Life.” Penned by Helen Pafumi and Jason Lott, Wonderful Life reinterprets the well-known screenplay and reintroduces audiences to the residents of Bedford Falls, New York on a fateful Christmas Eve in 1945.

Audiences, young and old, well-versed in the movie and not, find plenty to love in Wonderful Life, a play that has been called “a real stage gem shining brightly with the true meaning of Christmas spirit.”

Amanda Gunther of DC Metro Theatre Arts raved, “Lott makes for a stunning performer. Mastering all of the major and minor characters of Capra’s story with his own unique inflections and takes on the roles; he becomes nothing short of brilliant when he presents this one man telling of the story we know all too well.”
