About This Show

In 1947 the FBI released a document on the communist infiltration in American Cinema. Singled out in the document was Frank Capra’s film It’s a Wonderful Life. Using the Christmas classic as a launch pad, It’s a Life meditates on the American Dream. The performance will playfully examine concepts of America, wholesomeness, the evils of capitalism, young love, anarchism, pacifism and the holiday spirit.
