“We are very glad the deaf community of Northwest Indiana will be able to share in the experience of our live, professional theatre through the combined efforts of The Munster High School American Sign Language Club and Ridgewood Arts Foundation Inc.’s Theatre at the Center,” said Charlie Misovye, the theater Group Sales Coordinator.

Offering a new spin on the classic holiday film, A Wonderful Life is the musical stage version of the Frank Capra film classic “It’s a Wonderful Life.” A Wonderful Life is the remarkable collaboration of Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winner Sheldon Harnick and Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Joe Raposo.



Blending music, comedy and drama, A Wonderful Life is set in the small town of Bedford Falls, New York in the 1940s, and is the story of George Bailey, who has a heart of gold and is destined to live a small town life, despite his big dreams of seeing the world. When financial ruin threatens to destroy the family business, George considers ending it all and wonders what life would be like if he had never been born. But Clarence, an angel working to get his wings, intervenes, helping George to see how many lives he has touched and how dwindled his town would be if he had never been born. Audiences will meet all of the memorable characters of the town- Uncle Billy, Mr. Potter, Mary, Violet, Bert, and others – as they help George rediscover that the greatest gifts in life begin at home. A Wonderful Life is a timeless story of love and redemption, perfect for the whole family.
