Enjoy an evening of live music and cinema at Capitol Theatre: a performance by the Capitol Theatre Orchestra, followed by a special screening of Frank Capra’s 1946 classic, It’s a Wonderful Life.
James Stewart stars as George Bailey, whose selfless choices uplift Bedford Falls. On Christmas Eve, guardian angel Clarence (Henry Travers) shows George the profound impact of his life, leading him to rediscover hope and community. With memorable performances from Donna Reed and Lionel Barrymore, this beloved holiday favourite endures for its warmth, generosity, and spirit – an inspired seasonal pairing of orchestral melodies and timeless film.
