In our American culture It's a Wonderful Life has become almost as familiar as Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The story is a natural for a stage adaptation: the 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 descent 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. September 16 and 17, from 6:00pm to 8:30pm the Far Off Broadway Players will be holding auditions at the Plaza Theatre to cast this wonderful show. 

This faithful adaptation by James W. Rodgers has all your favorite characters: George and Mary Hatch, Clarence, Uncle Billy, Violet, and, of course, the Scrooge-like villain, Mr. Potter. The list of characters you can audition for are:

GEORGE BAILEY – (20-40’s) main character, the Everyman of Bedford Falls 
CLARENCE ODBODY – (50-70’s) George’s guardian angel
MR. GOWER – (40 & up) an aging druggist

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. It’s A Wonderful Life will take the stage of the Plaza Theatre December 13, 14 and 15 but auditions are Monday and Tuesday evening, September 16 and 17 from 6:00pm to 8:30pm.  No experience or preparation is necessary.
