MERRY CHRISTMAS, GEORGE BAILEY!

A Radio play adaptation of “It’s a Wonderful Life!”

 

Each year The Company Theatre presents this classic gem on ONE NIGHT ONLY for the holidays!  Something is amiss in Bedford Falls. Clarence, the angel, is cracking wise and George Bailey looks a bit unlike Jimmy Stewart. And the venerable story of “It’s a Wonderful Life” is unfolding on stage, not on celluloid. This isn’t a blow to tradition, however. It turns out that Frank Capra’s classic film isn’t the only way to enjoy the holiday drama! The Company Theatre returns with another annual Christmas classic, offering a live version of the radio play that was based on a Lux Soap Radio script, originally performed in 1947. This program is a toast to the anniversary of one of America’s most beloved holiday films.

WHAT: A Merry Christmas, George Bailey!
WHEN: December – TBA
Doors open for Drinks & Dinner st 6PM
WHERE: The Big Apple room at Little Italy
TICKETS: ONLY $40 for Dinner & Show Combo

OUR ANNUAL HALLOWEEN SHOW:

The Mystery of IRMA VEP

 It’s a family-friendly, horror-comedy, with werewolves, vampires & an archaeologist with MUMMY issues!  One of the most produced comedies in U.S. history.  This outrageous spoof is a campy tribute to Gothic horror films, liberally stealing from well-known film classics like Wuthering Heights, The Mummy’s Curse and Alfred Hitchcock’s Academy Award-winning Rebecca.  Literary detectives will also recognize dialogue lifted from Ibsen, Shakespeare, Poe, Oscar Wilde and many contemporary twists. This crazy comedy has two actors (Damian Gillen & Benji Regan) play all of the play’s eight characters, racing through a literal quick-change marathon…Combine all that with crazy plot twists & inspired audience interactions… “The Mystery of Irma Vep” guarantees fun for everyone!
–Voted one of the best plays by Time Magazine & New York Times!
–Winner of prestigious Drama Desk & Obie awards!
