ABOUT THE PLAY:
This beloved American holiday classic comes to captivating life as a live 1940s radio broadcast, complete with live foley artists! With the help of an ensemble that brings a few dozen characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey unfolds as he considers ending his life one fateful Christmas Eve. Four County Players is excited to return to a live holiday show for the first time since 2019 -- and it could not be a better time for this classic story about the value of life and importance of community.
NOTE: While this play is appropriate for the entire family, please use parental discretion in bringing any young children who may have trouble sitting through a full-length play. We recommend that you do not bring any children under the age of 4.
If you are in need of wheelchair accessible seating, please contact the box office at 4countyplayers@fourcp.org or call 540-832-5355 to reserve your tickets.
IMPORTANT COVID PROTOCOL INFORMATION:
We are so excited to be returning to live, in-person theater with you! Our commitment to keep putting community before theater remains steadfast. Four County Players will continue to adapt and follow the standards of safety which make our performers, volunteers, staff, and patrons feel safe. As such:
- All patrons, including children, must wear a mask inside the building regardless of vaccination status.
- All volunteers, theater staff, and production staff are required to wear masks inside the building regardless of vaccination status.
- The Bistro will be open before the show for some light snacks and drinks, but NO FOOD OR DRINK should be consumed in the building in the interest of continuous indoor mask-wearing. The Bistro will be CLOSED at intermission, but restrooms will be available for your use.
- The actors in IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY, all of whom are fully vaccinated, will be performing unmasked. There has been additional distance placed between the actors and audience (we are not selling seats to the front row for this production). This is in accordance with guidelines from the Health Education Services' COVID Compliance Officer training and current guidelines from the Actors Equity Association.
- When you select your seats (see website), our ticketing system will automatically space you apart from patrons not in your party. While we cannot guarantee six feet of distance between persons, you will not be sharing an armrest with anyone not in your party.
Four County Players is Central Virginia’s longest continuously operating community theater. A nonprofit organization, Four County Players prides itself on producing high-quality shows that involve volunteers from the community and keep generations of audiences returning for years.
