Kern and Lowe’s IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE, sometimes called “the American Christmas Carol,” tells the now-familiar story of George and Mary Bailey; the scheming, Scrooge-like Mr. Potter; Clarence, the lovable angel trying to win his wings; and the heart-warming triumph of the Bailey family and the Bedford Falls community.

Today, in our own uncertain financial times, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE resonates more than ever. It is a story of hope, love, sacrifice, and the power of friendship that has stood the test of time and continues to inspire audiences today.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS, by: Joe DiPietro
Full Length Play, Comedy / 3m, 3f

Nick is a single, Italian-American guy from New Jersey. His parents retired and moved to Florida. That doesn’t mean his family isn’t still in Jersey. In fact, he sees both sets of his grandparents every Sunday for dinner. This is routine until he has to tell them that he’s been offered a dream job. The job he’s been waiting for—marketing executive—would take him away from his beloved, but annoying, grandparents. He tells them. The news doesn’t sit so well. Thus begins a series of schemes to keep Nick around. How could he betray his family’s love to move to Seattle, for a job, wonder his grandparents? Well, Frank, Aida, Nunzio and Emma do their level best, and that includes bringing to dinner the lovely—and single—Caitlin O’Hare as bait…we won’t give the ending away here.
