The Athenaeum Players presents It's a Wonderful Life

December 6, 2024

The beloved holiday classic It's a Wonderful Life comes to the Athenaeum Art Gallery on Friday, December 6, with performances at 4:00 pm and 6:30 pm.

Travel back to Christmas Eve 1946 and experience this classic tale of desperation, hope, redemption and joy in the quintessential small town of Bedford Falls, surrounded by the Victorian splendor of the Athenaeum Gallery.

Presented as a staged reading in a 1940's radio drama format, the Athenaeum Players brings to life dozens of unforgettable characters. This radio play is drawn from Joe Landry's adaptation of the screen classic, based upon Philip van Doren Stern's short story, "The Greatest Gift."

This event is free, ADA accessible, and open to the public.

Location: St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, 1171 Main Street, St. Johnsbury, VT
