THE FINAL THREE PERFORMANCES AT THE NCRD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER IN NEHALEM THIS WEEKEND.

In Bedford Falls, a story takes flight,
Of love and loss, and finding your light.
Don’t miss the magic, on the stage you’ll see,
“It’s a Wonderful Life”—a Christmas memory.

TICKETS AND SHOW TIMES FOR THIS CHRISTMAS CLASSIC:

Directed by Frank Squillo.
