From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "..is a 1946 American drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra and loosely based on the short story "The Greatest Gift" written by Philip Van Doren Stern.
The film takes place in the fictional town of Bedford Falls shortly after World War II and stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a man whose imminent suicide on Christmas Eve gains the attention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody (Henry Travers) who is sent to help him in his hour of need. Much of the film is told through flashbacks spanning George's entire life and narrated by Franklin and Joseph, unseen Angels who are preparing Clarence for his mission to save George. Through these flashbacks we see all the people whose lives have been touched by George and the difference he has made to the community in which he lives.
The film is regarded as a classic and is a staple of Christmas television around the world, although, due to its high production costs and stiff competition at the box office, financially, it was considered a "flop." The film's break-even point was actually $6.3 million, approximately twice the production cost, a figure it never came close to achieving in its initial release.[2] An appraisal in 2006 reported: "Although it was not the complete box-office failure that today everyone believes … it was a major disappointment and confirmed, at least to the studios, that Capra was no longer capable of turning out the populist features that made his films the must-see, money-making events they once were."[3]
It's a Wonderful Life was nominated for five Oscars without winning any, but the film has since been recognized by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 best American films ever made, and placed number one on their list of the most inspirational American films of all time....

"The Morris Area One Act Play cast will present an encore performance of their section-winning play “Lysistrata Interruptae” at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 17, at the Proscenium Theatre at the University of Minnesota, Morris.
The Morris Area production placed first in the sub-section competition last week, then was a unanimous winner in its Class A section contest this week.
The cast performed in the state One Act Play Fesival at O’Shaugnessy Theatre on Friday. No results of the cast’s state performance were available when the Sun Tribune went to press Friday afternoon. It was Morris Area’s first trip to state since 2004.
The Class AA and Class A competitions are Thursday and Friday in the the 61st annual Minnesota State High School League One Act Play Festival.
The annual festival is not a competition, with each production will be judged and publicly critiqued immediately following each performance.
Each cast attempts to achieve an exceptional rating known as a "starred performance."
“Lysistrata Interruptae” was conceived by the Morris Area students and Johnson after learning of another Minnesota One Act cast encountering censorship of its performance of “Lysistrata.” The students all contributed to the script, which was written with the help of Morris poet and authoer, Athena Kildegaard.
This was Morris Area’s 12th state performance, and the school earned starred performance rankings in 1963, 1978, 1999, 2000 and 2004."

*UMM Alumn connection-Nate Metcalf 95'
Referred through... UMM alum realizes a dream with victory on ‘Jeopardy!’ game show

"Just one game" is what Nate Metcalf, University of Minnesota, Morris alumnus, kept repeating to himself when he was preparing for his appearance on the classic game show, "Jeopardy!"
"That's all I wanted to win. I didn't want to be greedy, but I just wanted to win,” he said. “And I did. So I'm insanely happy. And now the words ‘Jeopardy! champion’ can go in every program bio and every business card I ever have. I did it. This was the dream.”
On Jan. 31, Metcalf's winning “Jeopardy!” appearance aired on national television. Metcalf won a total of $24,846 from the two shows on which he appeared.
Always a fan of the television show, Metcalf auditioned online, received a call for a second audition and finally the call inviting him to be a contestant.
It wasn’t his first “Jeopardy!” audition. About 10 years ago, as an undergraduate student at UMM, Metcalf auditioned for the College Tournament and passed the test but never made it onto the show. So this time, said Metcalf, it was “personal.” He credits “my lovely bride, Jolene” with helping him to train for the show.
“She was a big part of the experience,” he said.
Metcalf stood out throughout his competition in his purple suit and with his lightning quick reflexes on the "thumb-wackety," the button contestants push to ask the right question to a given answer (the phrase was first used in the book Prisoner of Trebekistan by Bob Harris).
Metcalf also prepared a unique set of “five talking points” that each contestant shares prior to the program and highlights the one they prefer, which Alex Trebek, the show’s host, can use during the interview portion of the program:
Metcalf’s list was:
• He once sang "Do Ron Ron" in Hungarian at an audition - and got the part;
• He was an Alex Trebek wanna-be for 964 episodes of a game show;
• Being on “Jeopardy!” nearly killed him - literally! In an effort to be healthy for the show he got a dose of penicillin, to which he was unknowingly allergic. Big allergic reaction; a larger dose could have been fatal;
• He owns 27 pairs of brightly colored tennis shoes, but had to buy dress shoes to be on the show;
• He once won a 50-yard dash in a foam-rubber mascot outfit.
Metcalf highlighted the first point.
"I always thought that everyone could rattle off facts like I can,” Metcalf said. “I grew up in a house where we always played “Jeopardy!” and so I thought that quick, fact recall was just a natural thing. But the more I trained, I noticed people looking at me with equal parts awe and confusion."
Metcalf won his first game by a "lock game," meaning that he had more winnings than the second place player's score doubled when it came time for “Final Jeopardy.” The second game Metcalf played as a returning champion and was finished second.
"I feel really good,” he said. “I have nothing to be ashamed about. And I mean that in regard to the little things. I mean, there were no answers that I'm kicking myself for not knowing."
Metcalf graduated from UMM in 1995 with a degree in theatre arts. He attended graduate school at Kent State University and now works as an artistic associate with The National Theatre for Children in Minneapolis. Metcalf toured with the company for 10 years prior to his current position and has performed in 27 states and three countries.
"Now it’s weird watching (“Jeopardy!”) because I know everything the players have gone through,” Metcalf said. “I see it through the player's eyes much more than I did before. And I pick up on the subtle things that Alex does. Watch how his interest fades on Friday’s shows. To him Friday is the show they tape at 5 p.m. He wants to get out of there and go to a Lakers game, so he's not chatty."

"..TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK (ANS) -- As a performer of one-person plays, Rich Swingle makes his home in New York City, where he has been a staff actor at the Lamb's Theatre. The dynamic nature of his work can fill as little as ten minutes in a larger presentation or as much as a full day of workshops.
Swingle has performed at churches, colleges, retreats, camps, prisons, and theatres off Broadway. He began touring with Big Fish, Little Worm, a collection of short sketches on Jonah, Lazarus, Gideon and Jeremiah. "A Clear Leading" is the story of John Woolman, who spoke out against slavery a century before the Civil War. Rich also conducts workshops in Sociodrama and has a Christmas program available.
"I'm beginning to work with Graceworks Inc., an organization that teaches presentation skills to groups and individuals in corporations. Because a majority of my performances happen on weekends this is an ideal addition to my schedule," said Swingle.
Swingle said Graceworks was recently featured in The New York Times and is receiving high praise from major corporations. "If any of you work for a company that could benefit from improved presentation skills, contact Carol Doscher at 212-724-1541 or doscher@graceworksinc.com," Swingle said.
Swingle recently had the opportunity to perform in Bolivia on a trip with Compassion. "I've put a 4.5 minute video and my notes about the trip at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RichDramaPrayer. In the left column click on files. They're in a folder marked 'Bolivia.' "
"You'll also find footage there from Transformation Station, a church for children, launched by Westchester Chapel in White Plains, NY. When I'm in town I perform characters like Sir Michael Quimby, Ed the Grocer, Farmer Fred, and Sludge. This first installment of the Farmer Fred Show features an interview between Farmer Fred and Sludge," Swingle said.
"Dominick Crincoli, who often leads musical interludes in my plays, has just produced a great album. Order a copy at www.domcrinc.com or send email to Crinc@earthlink.net. The $12 cost is inclusive of shipping, and its satisfaction guaranteed or your money back!" he said.
