It's A Wonderful Life

The Pittsburgh Savoyards present It's a Wonderful Life, directed by Barbara Burgess-Lefebvre. Show running time is about 1 hour and 30 minutes, which includes one intermission.

George Bailey’s life is a heartfelt journey of dreams deferred, steadfast devotion, and the quiet heroism found in everyday choices. Over decades he forgoes plans for travel and adventure to support his family and the people of his small town, forging deep friendships, navigating love and loss, and carrying the weight of responsibility with resilience and humor. As challenges and pressures mount, the story crescendos into a powerful reflection on worth, community, and the unseen impact one life can have. Warm, moving, and full of human truth, this timeless tale celebrates compassion, belonging, and the extraordinary meaning hidden in ordinary moments—an uplifting experience that will resonate with audiences of all ages.
