THE DEETS

📍 TheatreSquared, Fayetteville
🕑 Tuesdays – Saturdays at 7:00 PM | Saturdays and Sundays at 1:00 PM
🔗 Tickets and full schedule

Eight Actors, 65+ Characters

Eight actors take on over 65 roles in this TheatreSquared original adaptation. Co-adapted by Robert Ford and Damon Kiely from the Frank Capra film and directed by Kiely, the production captures George Bailey’s journey as he puts his dreams on hold to rescue the failing family business. On Christmas Eve, standing alone and wishing he’d never been born, George meets a mysterious stranger who shows him just how much one life can matter.

The American Film Institute called the original film “the century’s most inspirational film,” and this stage version delivers that same emotional punch. You’ll watch George learn that “no man is a failure who has friends,” and yes, even the cynics in the audience will find themselves cheering by the final curtain.

Plan Your Visit

The show runs through December 24, with special holiday performances scheduled throughout the season. Note that there are no performances from November 25-27 (Thanksgiving week), and the final performance on December 24 is a matinee only.

Families and theater lovers alike will find something to enjoy in this holiday production. Grab your tickets early because there’s nothing quite like live theater to remind you what the season is all about.
