Trinity Lutheran Church is thrilled to return for its 4th Annual It’s a Wonderful Life radio play. Adapted and directed by local Manhattan Beach director, Greg Cicchino, It’s a Wonderful Life performs live at Trinity Lutheran on December 13 at 7:00 p.m. and December 15 at 12:00 p.m. following the 10:00 a.m. service. Produced in the style of a 1940s radio play and combined with classic holiday carols and an old-fashioned Foley table, the city of Bedford Falls comes to life before your ears and eyes.

This holiday classic tells the story of George Bailey, the quintessential American, whose sense of duty to family and community causes him to put his own dreams on hold year after year. When something goes terribly wrong and George considers making the ultimate decision, a little help from above shows him that he really does have a wonderful life.

Benefit tickets are a $25 suggested donation for adults; $15 for students, seniors, and veterans; children under 6 free. Ten Thousand Villages will hold a special Fair Trade Christmas Pop-up both before and during intermission.
