Join us as we follow George Bailey, a man who has sacrificed much for his family and the townspeople of Bedford Falls. Eventually he is faced with a very difficult challenge. Believing that people would be better off had he never been born, he is given the rare gift of seeing what life would have looked like for those he cares about.
Cost is $15 (includes all fees). All proceeds from the play will be donated to 2 local charities.
Food for the Cochrane Food Bank will also be accepted at the door.
Hope to see you there!!
