NOV. 29-DEC. 22: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
During the holiday season, it’s not uncommon for folks to step back and take some time to reflect on the things they’re grateful for. And few stories are better at prompting that exercise in gratitude than It’s a Wonderful Life. This is the story of small-town everyman George Bailey, who, in the depths of his despair, is shown how the small acts of selflessness throughout his life have made the world a better place. The fact that his epiphany takes place on Christmas Eve makes it all the more poignant. Marianne McLaughlin directs.
