Step Back in Time This Holiday Season with “It’s a Wonderful Life”

This December, the Pittsburgh Savoyards invite you to rediscover the warmth and wonder of the holidays with Frank Capra’s classic tale, It’s a Wonderful Life—a full-stage production directed by Barbara Burgess-Lefebvre. Performances will take place at the Margaret Partee Performing Arts Center in Bellevue, PA, running from December 5 – 20, 2025.

Step into the world of Bedford Falls, where snow gently falls and carolers fill the streets with festive song, and the timeless story of George Bailey unfolds. When life’s struggles lead him to question his worth, an angel named Clarence shows George how profoundly he has touched the lives of others—and how one person can truly make a difference.

Adapted by James W. Rodgers from the beloved 1946 film, this heartwarming production captures all the nostalgia and joy of a classic Christmas movie brought to life on stage. With glowing holiday lights, vintage charm, and the enduring message of hope, It’s a Wonderful Life offers an immersive holiday experience perfect for families, friends, and anyone who believes in the magic of the season.
