A Wonderful Life is the musical version of Frank Capra’s holiday film classic, It’s A Wonderful Life, and the plot is faithful to the original storyline. The musical version is set in the mid-1940s and the costumes, make-up and set design will reflect this time period accurately in its look and feel.
The production is directed by Kristine Lewis, an experienced and trained Broadway and community theatre director, and is being produced by James Moyer, Pennsbury High School's Director of Choral Activities.
