Celebrating Imagination and the Creative Spirit through Quality Theatre in Durango, Colorado
COMING SOON
“Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.”
George Bailey dreamed of going to college and traveling the world. Years later, his life begins to feel crushingly ordinary. One Christmas Eve, bruised by quiet desperation, George reaches his breaking point. Would the world be better off without him? Joe Landry’s inventive adaptation of the beloved holiday classic is set in a 1940s radio studio, where a team of actors and live foley artists capture this heartwarming story and remind us how much one life matters. This nostalgic and redemptive celebration of the holiday spirit is our Christmas gift to you. Appropriate for all ages.

Support MERELY PLAYERS
We humbly ask that you consider contributing to Merely Players, a 501(c) (3) organization.
As is true in theatres across the nation, ticket prices account for only about 30% of our operational and production costs. The rest of our expenses must be met through private donations and grants.
Live theatre is a dynamic, expensive venture, and our costs keep rising. Donations are used to meet venue expenses, pay royalties, hire actors and other personnel, pay for technical elements such as scenery, costumes, and lighting, and to publicize our shows. The money we raise directly affects the quality of our productions.
Theatre adds vitality and variety to a community, and your tax-deductible donation helps to ensure that we can continue to thrive.

Merely Players celebrates the dignity and inherent potential of every human. We reject any form of discrimination or hatred, as we aspire to create a community built on respect, belonging, diversity, inclusion, collaboration, and creativity.
