“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.

Merely Underground is a small space, and we want to ensure that as many people can see our play as possible. To maximize audience capacity, we have built risers and have two seating options. All seats have a great view of the stage.

Comfortable padded stool with high back.  If you are worried about someone’s head blocking you, this is a great choice.  We appreciate you selecting these if you are able, so that people who are unable to get on a stool can have the chairs. 

This seating option may not be available for all shows.

If you would like to be added to our mailing list so that you can stay informed about our shows, auditions, volunteer opportunities and all things Merely, sign up by sending us an email:  merelydirectors@gmail.com

All seats will be assigned. Tickets are not mailed. You can pick them up at WILL CALL on the night of the performance.
