Over 1200 audience members took in a holiday classic performed by Union Street Players.

The award-winning theater troupe in Pella had seven shows of It’s a Wonderful Life at the Pella Community Center in December. Show Director Pati Van Zante says the message of the importance of a person’s impact on others’ lives was keenly felt by their audiences. The Union Street Players will next perform Twelve Angry Men March 1-4 and Kiss Me Kate in the Summer.
