INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Repertory Theatre opened its adapted 6-play virtual season in early December with This Wonderful Life, starring Rob Johansen. Focused on hope and holiday joy, the story speaks to the need for connection and comfort during these difficult times. In partnership with WFYI, the show will be filmed and available to stream at home. This marks the first time in more than 25 years that the IRT has not produced A Christmas Carol.
This Wonderful Life, written by Steve Murray, is a reimagining of Frank Capra’s iconic movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, and its message of kindness, community, and love. Johansen portrays the Storyteller, a man in love with the film who enacts and reacts to the classic characters and content, taking the audience on a witty and heartfelt holiday ride.
The show runs through Jan. 3. Virtual tickets start at $30. Visit irtlive.com for more information and to get tickets.
