It's a Wonderful Life -- the family oriented, Christmas film from Frank Capra (made famous by Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed) comes to the Crowley stage to help kick-off Crowley's Christmas season.

 

Set in Bedford Falls in 1945 on Christmas Eve, It's a Wonderful Life chronicles the life (and non-life) of George Bailey, the mild-mannered starry eyed man who is shown just how important his life has been. Clarence Odbody, Angel Second Class, the heavenly being sent down to earth to help George, pushes and prods to get George to the realization of how his life has touched so many. Clarence's purposes are not totally angelic, however, for he must get George to this realization in order to garnish his own wings and move to a "TRUE angel" instead of being Second Class.

 

A flurry of characters parade in and out to assist in proving to George that he is important and that every person's life touches a multitude of others.
