This past weekend, the Notre Dame Performing Arts put on four sold-out performances of It’s A Wonderful Life for their 2025 Fall Production. Congratulations to all the cast and crew on a wonderful performance!
It’s A Wonderful Life tells the story of George Bailey, who is facing financial ruin and contemplating suicide when he is visited by his guardian angel, Clarence, on Christmas Eve. Clarence shows George what the town of Bedford Falls would look like if he had never been born. Through this journey with Clarence, George Bailey realizes that he has an impact and matters to those around him. The play is a wonderful start to winter, and really brings joy into the Christmas season.
Special thanks to directors Aaron Bartuska ‘16, and Sean O’Malley ‘16 for making this performance possible. Congratulations!
