Details
Frank Capra’s classic is a cherished Christmas tradition for countless families. Building & loan owner George Bailey (James Stewart) is all that stands between the good people of Bedford Falls and the wicked miser Mr. Potter (Lionel Barrymore). When misfortune strikes on Christmas Eve, George realizes, with the help of an angel named Clarence, (Henry Travers) that he truly has a “wonderful life.” ("No man is a failure who has friends.”)
One Friday each month, the Kirby Center showcases a classic movie on the big screen. Each showing includes an on-screen introduction by Flashback Cinema host and Northeastern Pennsylvania native John Hersker, providing historical background on the films.
The series features two showings of each film, first at 1 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. on the same Friday. Tickets for matinee films are only $3, while evening films are just $5.
