Doug Schutte 1 actor inhabits 36 total characters from IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE and takes you back in time to take a look back at the iconic film and its place in today's world. Is it still a wonderful life? Does the film still speak to us today? Does it still belong in the canon of America's greatest films? As he brings George Bailey, Mr. Potter, Clarence, Mary, Violet, and the rest of Bedford Falls back to life, Schutte takes you on a journey to find out. An intimate show about an intimate film, but as hilarious as it is heartwarming. All together, that makes for a WONDERFUL night of theatre. |
Critics think it's...Wonderful:
"Schutte plays it all with such unabashed joy and skill" -Arts Louisville "Definitely what the season calls for." -Arts Louisville "Schutte directs and performs dozens of characters for nearly an hour and a half, exhaustively running around the stage and changing persona and voice to great effect. His impersonations of Jimmy Stewart and Lionel Barrymore are particularly spot-on." -Arts Louisville "like a highly-energetic, charismatic friend telling you about their favorite movie." -LEO Weekly "His Jimmy Stewart impression was a delight." -LEO Weekly "I’ll admit, I went into this show not particularly a fan of It’s a Wonderful Life. Schutte’s depiction of George Bailey, despite all the narrative throws at him and how it rings true today, makes me want to give the movie another chance." -LEO Weekly |
