Studio Tenn: It’s a Wonderful Life | The Sold-Out Holiday Hit Returns! | December 3-20, 2026

The beloved Christmas classic returns to Studio Tenn in a magical theatrical experience unlike any other. On the stage of the Turner Theater, five actors recreate the entire story of George Bailey as a 1940s live radio broadcast—using vintage microphones, live sound effects, and music to bring the town of Bedford Falls to life right before your eyes. You’ll step back in time to Christmas Eve 1943, as the performers create every character and every moment of this heartwarming story live on stage.

This special return production features the entire original Studio Tenn cast that made the production a sold-out hit, bringing back all the heart, humor, and nostalgia audiences fell in love with the first time. As George Bailey discovers the true meaning of life, this timeless story reminds us that the greatest gifts at Christmas are love, family and that no man is a failure who has friends.

A nostalgic celebration of the season, perfect for making memories with the whole family.
