Last night I had the chance to see “It’s A Wonderful Life” at the Imperial Theatre presented by Theatre Sarnia and to say it was good is an understatement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such a beautiful show, inspiring so much hope and love. An amazing cast with so much talent. To the cast and crew of this show — you were all INCREDIBLE! I loved every minute! I loved the sets, and the backgrounds. I loved seeing the buildings on the big screen as a backdrop, and watching like watching the original black and white movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve seen the movie, you’re familiar with the story, but to see it performed on stage this way took it to another level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the beginning song, to the very end – it was moving, charming, funny and emotional and it was hard to not shed a few tears. The joy that George felt at the end was contagious and I didn’t want it to end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think it’s a message that maybe we could all use right now. A reminder that you matter. Your life matters. And no matter what difficulties or challenges you are facing, or how bleak it looks – you matter. You just don’t always see it or believe it to be true. People <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meet George. A man down on his luck. He’s at the end of his rope. Believes he’s worth more dead than alive. He’s lost hope. He’s lost his joy. He’s forgotten what matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
An angel is watching out for him. Ready to step in and help him and in the process earn his “wings”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We get a glimpse of George’s life leading up to where he is now. You see him as a child and all the things he went through that seemed almost insignificant on their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not until he gets a glimpse of what life would be like without him, if he got his wish of “I wish I was never born”. We see how life would be so different. How many lives he actually touched and even saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a show about love, relationships, hope. The power of community. A reminder to always hope and always believe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was an incredible show and I really hope you get a chance to go see this amazing production from Theatre Sarnia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
