"It's a Wonderful Life" at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck

Up in One Productions presents a heartwarming stage adaptation of Frank Capra's beloved Christmas film "It's a Wonderful Life" at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. Immerse yourself in the small-town charm of fictional Bedford Falls and see how George Bailey, despondent and facing ruin, is rescued from near suicide by his unconventional guardian angel. Directed by Diana di Grandi, it stars Michael Risio as George, Madison Anthony as Mary, Lou Trapani as Potter and Russ Austin as Clarence.

Performances are scheduled Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from Dec. 2-18, with Friday and Saturday shows beginning at 8 p.m. and Sunday shows starting at 3 p.m. To purchase tickets, click here.

If time allows, make a day of it. The Center for Performing Arts is about a five-minute drive into the Village of Rhinebeck, where you'll find a variety of restaurants and shops.
