  • The beloved saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, whose dreams of escape and adventure have been quashed by family obligation and civic duty, whose guardian angel has to descend on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him—by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born—that his has been, after all, a wonderful life. 
    This faithful adaptation has all your favorite characters: George and Mary Hatch, Clarence, Uncle Billy, Violet, and, of course, the Scrooge-like villain, Mr. Potter. This fine dramatization not only celebrates the faith of the season, it also celebrates the American philosophy of life: hard work, fair play and the love and support of one’s family and community will be rewarded. 
  • Run time approximately 2 hours.

  • 7:00 pm

  • Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean and stingy old man who holds no love in his heart for anything except money. He especially hates Christmas and the frivolous gifts and celebrations people waste their time and money on in the spirit of the season. But when Scrooge is visited by 3 Spirits—of Christmases Past, Present, and Future—he learns that there may be something joyous about this holiday after all. Join us on Charles Dickens’s classic tale of reflection, generosity, and finding the true Christmas Spirit (or three).   
  • Run time approximately 110 minutes.

Meet your Facilitators

Project Success Facilitators develop long-term relationships with students, help them ignite success from within, express their voices, and provide them with many unique and meaningful experiences – all without judgment. They are there to listen, to encourage, to lend support, and to suggest practical steps toward reaching each student’s goals.
