The story of George Bailey and his wonderful life in Bedford Falls has brought hope and inspiration to every heart with its celebration of the goodness in all of us. The Fireside is proud to bring you this stunning, live stage version of Frank Capra’s beloved film. Written by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning lyricist Sheldon Harnick, one of the creators of “Fiddler on the Roof,” and Grammy and Emmy Award winner Joe Raposo whose music from “Sesame Street” inspired generations of young people, A Wonderful Life captures all the magic of the film as it shines with the spirit of Christmas. Before the show, enjoy lunch featuring loaded baked potato soup, freshly baked bread and a selection of dishes including chicken monterey, grilled salmon, sliced roast beef tenderloin or vegetarian tofu skewers. Complete your meal with Bailey’s Irish Cream cheesecake dessert, accompanied by coffee, tea and milk. Purchase additional beverages on your own. Moderate walking is involved with this trip. Registration/cancellation deadline: October 17 (spaces permitting). Transportation provided via Park District van.
Registration for this program/event begins at 9:00am on 8/19 for residents and 8/22 for non-residents.
