Theatre--Performance

The Evangeline Players are proud to present their Christmas show, It's A Wonderful Life. Based on the beloved classic starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, this adaptation by Doug Rand from the screenplay by Frances Goodrich, Albert Hackett, Frank Capra, and Jo Swerling, has kept all the magic of the original movie. George Bailey, played by Steven "Smitty" Smith, Jr., receives a wonderful gift: the ability to see what his life would have been like had he never been born, and the results are life-altering. All the rich characters are there: the loving wife Mary (Stephanie Judice), the congenial drunkard Uncle Billy (Milton Resweber), the despicable Mr. Potter (Bob Sidman), and the angel in training Clarence Oddbody (Vincent P. Barras). A cast of twenty actors under the direction of Vincent P. Barras brings this Frank Capra masterpiece to life. The cast includes Joyce Case, Kristyn Champagne, Ivy Fauntleroy, Isabelle and Peyton Florsheim, Kayla Heintz, Jacob and Justin Judice, Keith Laperouse, Sarah Leonard, Chris Parich, Will Perry, Jesse Schexnayder, Mac Stearns, Audrey Thibodeaux, and Dr. Daniel Wiltz.

The play opens at the DuChamp Opera House in St. Martinville on Friday November 7th and runs until Sunday November 23rd, with Friday and Saturday performances at 7:30 pm and Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm. Tickets are $10.00 per person and can be obtained by calling the DuChamp Opera House at 394-6604 or Shamrock Office Supply at 394-5574.
