The Paramount Center for the Arts, Bristol, Tennessee, holds a Christmas Open House, Nov. 25 featuring music by Rex Ward and the film, "It's a Wonderful Life."
"It’s a Wonderful Life" is a 1946 American Christmas film produced and directed by Frank Capra. It is based on the short story and booklet “The Greatest Gift” self-published by Philip Van Doren Stern in 1943, which itself is loosely based on the 1843 Charles Dickens novella "A Christmas Carol." The film stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a man who has given up his personal dreams in order to help others in his community and whose thoughts of suicide on Christmas Eve bring about the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody. Clarence shows George all the lives he touched and what the world would be like if he had not existed.
Plus, Paramount organist Rex Ward provides Christmas music on the organ starting at 5:30 p.m.
Admission is free, a $5 donation is welcomed.
