Your future, our focus
The holiday classic that tells the saga of small-town man George Bailey—whose dreams of adventure have been suppressed by family obligation—comes to Powell, Wyoming, Dec. 7-9.
Area residents are encouraged to enjoy an evening of feel-good fun at the community theater production of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” which takes place in the Nelson Performing Arts Auditorium each night at 7 p.m.
The stage play for "It's a Wonderful Life," written by James W. Rodgers, is based on the film by Frank Capra and the story by Philip Van Doren Stern. This production is co-directed by Fred Ebert, assistant professor and communication division chair, and Jon Andren, longtime participant in local community theater.
Cost to attend is $5 or $4 with a nonperishable food item, which will be donated to the Powell Valley Loaves and Fishes food bank. All proceeds from the production go toward the spring children’s theater.
