Clarksville, TN – After the turkey and stuffing are put away on Thanksgiving night, bring your out-of-town guests to the Roxy Regional Theatre in Historic Downtown Clarksville for family entertainment sure to get everyone in the holiday spirit!
“It’s A Wonderful Life: The Musical” opens at the Roxy Regional Theatre on Thursday, November 25th, at 7:00pm.
Based on the beloved 1946 film, this musical version follows a young George Bailey, played by Stephen Shore (appearing courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors, and Stage Managers in the United States).
Overwhelmed by family obligations and a sense of responsibility toward his community, George feels tied down to a company he never had an interest in working for and a life he never wanted to live. As he ages, he sees his youth, dreams, and opportunities pass him by.
Unknown to George, though, all of his friends and family have been praying for him to get through those hard times. Told through the point of view of a group of angels, he is met by his guardian angel Clarence (played by Executive Director Ryan Bowie), as he contemplates ending his life.
