IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A Radio Drama
Presented by Beavercreek Community Theatre Children’s Theatre

Remember the good old days – when people had to use their imaginations – when their mind was a stage? Well those days are back – only better because now you can SEE as well as HEAR as the radio program present the classic Christmas story “It’s a Wonderful Life”. George Bailey, despondent over the seemingly inevitable failure of the Bailey Building and Loan, considers ending his life by throwing himself off the bridge, claiming it would be better if he had never been born. Enter Clarence the bumbling guardian angel attempting to earn his wings, he comes to help George see what it would be like IF he had never been born and that his life IS worth living. You won’t want to miss this delightful holiday classic performed in a different way.

THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER runs Dec. 2-10

THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER
Presented by Fairfield Footlighters
Dec. 2-10
Fairfield

The Herdmans are the meanest kids in town. They lie, steal, smoke and cuss. Teachers pass the kids on to the next grade because inevitably another Herdman will be coming into their class. There were six Herdmans – Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie and Gladys. Their father had disappeared when Gladys was two and their mom worked double shifts at the shoe factory and was never home. The Herdmans were bullies and did whatever they wanted. So, it surprised the town when they showed up one day to Sunday school. Charlie told Leroy Herdman that they could get free food if they showed up at Sunday school – never thinking they would come. But they did, the Herdmans decided to come the day that the Christmas pageant parts were being assigned and they end up taking over the pageant. But in the end the whole Church learns the true meaning of Christmas – including the Herdmans!
