Studio Tenn Presents: It’s A Wonderful Life

Studio Tenn brings back this beloved holiday classic as a staged recreation of a 1940s radio broadcast. Five actors take the stage at Turner Theater to tell George Bailey's story using vintage microphones, live sound effects, and music—creating the entire town of Bedford Falls before your eyes. You'll experience Christmas Eve 1946 as it unfolds live, with performers voicing every character and moment of this heartwarming tale. The production runs about two hours with a 15-minute intermission and is recommended for ages 12 and up (note: the story includes themes of suicide). This return engagement features the original cast that sold out the previous run, bringing back all the nostalgia and charm families loved. It's a wonderful option for creating holiday memories together. Tickets start at $30, with discounts available for students (up to 90 minutes before showtime with ID), military members, educators, and groups of eight or more. Studio Tenn also offers a sensory-friendly performance with modified sound and lighting, plus an ASL-interpreted showing. Reserve tickets through Ticketmaster or the box office at (615) 541-8200.
