Widely considered one of the most inspirational and beloved stories in American film, It’s a Wonderful Life, translates beautifully to the Guild stage in this imaginative 1940’s style radio-on-stage production by Tony “Sparx” Palermo. This adaptation is designed as a live theater production with all the pizzazz and delight of golden era live radio shows, including students as live sound effects artists.
George Bailey has spent his whole life giving up his dreams to help others. When his Uncle Billy loses the funds belonging to his small loan business and George realizes that he will be held responsible, he believes his family and friends would be better off without him. On Christmas Eve, his guardian angel, Clarence, has a better idea.

The Cactus Blossoms
2021-11-20 19:30 - 22:00 | Armory Square, 519 Division Street, Northfield, MN, 55057, United States
You won’t find clashing sibling rivalry in the smooth tones of the Cactus Blossoms. Instead, these brothers blend their voices in a perfect harmony that will have you swaying along. Originally from Minneapolis, brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey are bringing their sound to Northfield. So grab someone special and get ready to tap your feet and clap your hands to the smooth sounds of the Cactus Blossoms.

Opening for the Cactus Blossoms is Northfield resident, Jon Manners. Playing since ’57, Jon Manners recorded with Rolling Stones impresario/producer Andrew Loog Oldham in the early ’70s. Now living in Northfield, he gigs solo in Southern and Central Minnesota. “Jon Manners’ sound is unmistakable, combining the bounce of funk, the passion of soul, the thoughtfulness of jazz, the story telling of folk and the joy of rock ‘n roll.” –Rich Larson, KYMN Radio 95.1
