It's A Wonderful Life Play Review
You know that it’s the holiday season, when you see, It’s A Wonderful Life. Recently, I saw a modern adaptation of a classic holiday film, It’s A Wonderful Life. The play is directed by Ashlee Temple and was adapted by James W. Rogers. It’s being shown at the Tillie Lewis Theater, located at San Joaquin Delta College, on the opening night December the 11th at 8pm.

The house only ever showed the living room which had several props, like a Christmas tree that lit-up, chairs, a rug, phone etc. All the other scenes used one or two props, which helped with knowing what scenes they were in. The sets that was used in the play were designed by Kevin
