“Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings!”
The beloved film “It’s a Wonderful Life” is now a musical, written by Mark Cabaniss and Lowell Alexander. George Bailey has spent his entire life giving of himself to the people of Bedford Falls, watching his dreams of travel and adventure pass him by. Life has not been kind and with a scandal looming, George finds himself in a desperate place on Christmas Eve. Enter Clarence, a guardian angel who shows George what the world would have been like if he had never been born. Friends and family surround George with the spirit of generosity and love, while the magic of Christmas transforms their community.

Technology Tip and Tricks
|
|
Toys are, first and foremost, all about fun. They should amuse and engage kids and serve as a pleasant pastime that can be enjoyed again and again. But if learning and skill development come along with that fun, so much better! And with great tech toys, an increase in STEM-related knowledge and aptitude is baked right in.
