Holiday adaptation of 'It's a Wonderful Life' by Tami Dixon, directed by Jeffrey Carpenter, at The Lillie Theatre.
Hey Hon, It's a Wonderful Life opens at The Lillie Theatre on Thursday, December 3, and runs through Sunday, December 20. It's a stage adaptation of the story of George Bailey, the small-town banker who finds himself at a breaking point on Christmas Eve, only to be shown what his town would have been like if he'd never been born.
This version is adapted by Tami Dixon and directed by Jeffrey Carpenter. The story is one of the most familiar holiday tales in the American canon, and the production brings it to the stage in Pittsburgh, with the run stretching across nearly three weeks in December. If you're looking for a way to get into the holiday spirit a bit early, this is a good place to start.

Because it runs from December 3 through December 20, you've got a fair amount of room to fit it in. It's not a single night or a weekend run, so you can pick a date that works for you—whether that's an opening-week performance or something closer to the 20th. The Lillie Theatre is the venue for the whole run, and the production stays there for the duration.
