The world has seemingly changed 100 years over the past 10, which begs the question: is the film IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE still relevant in this new world we inhabit?  To be sure, many aspects of the film certainly seem outdated.  

Doug Schutte will tell you it STILL is--very much--a wonderful life.  And he's got a one-man show to try to prove it.  That's right.  One actor plays George Bailey, Mary Bailey, Old Man Potter, and the rest of the residents of Bedford Falls in what one critic called "a love letter to the iconic film."

There shall be laughs.  There shall (most likely) be a few tears.  And there shall be hope for the future, built from the genius of the past. 

Take the brilliance of Capra, Stewart, Reed, and company. Add Schutte's iconic ultra-moronic wisdom. You'll leave knowing it really is, still, a wonderful life.

PRESS ON SCHUTTE AND BEDFORD FALLS
"Schutte plays it all with such unabashed joy and skill" = Arts Louisville

"Schutte directs and performs dozens of characters for nearly an hour and a half, exhaustively running around the stage and changing persona and voice to great effect. His impersonations of Jimmy Stewart and Lionel Barrymore are particularly spot-on." -Arts Louisville

"like a highly-energetic, charismatic friend telling you about their favorite movie." -LEO Weekly

"I’ll admit, I went into this show not particularly a fan of It’s a Wonderful Life. Schutte’s depiction of George Bailey, despite all the narrative throws at him and how it rings true today, makes me want to give the movie another chance." -LEO Weekly
