Remember- No Man Is a Failure Who Has Friends.

So says Clarence the angel in It's A Wonderful Life! 
And while like most of us, I have moments of self doubt, I cannot consider my life a failure because I am blessed with many, many friends.
Among those friends that I have been blessed with are the creative leaders on this show: Karen and Peter Randazzo as director and music director, respectively.

Those who know me well know that I love Christmas...it was a wonderful time for my family when growing up and I still love decorating and celebrating the joyous season. 
I really hit the jackpot nearly 40 years ago when the chance to celebrate the holidays by performing with an amazing group of artists came to be. For almost 30 of those years my life was filled with holiday spirit and song through Karen and Peter, so I knew they would be the perfect team to bring this heartwarming and joyous story to life. Thank you for steppin' in to this show!

Those of you who have been with us for a while know that Fairfield County Giving Day had been a very important fundraising program for us. As you may also know, that program has ended so we hope to count on your generosity through direct contributions as you look at your year-end giving. Recent legislative action at the state level also left us (and all but two Fairfield County Theatres) out of a $10M funding pool, so we really could use your help. Won't you be an angel and support your community theatre this season? Maybe someday, a bell will ring and we'll know it's because you just got your wings. 

As we enter the holiday season, please accept the thanks from all of us at Curtain Call for your support...we wouldn’t be here without your regular patronage. We hope to see you in 2024 and wish you the best this holiday season and in the coming New Year!
