Levin (PC '98) and featuring Alex Borinsky, Jenny Nissel, and Felicia Ricci of the Class of '08, is opening for a 3-week run at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe in the East Village.  The play is a dark countertelling of "It's a Wonderful Life" as told by Sam Wainwright, perennial runner-up to George Bailey.

Come on out, support your fellow Elis and take in a wild night of new theater.  It's the show George Bailey doesn't want you to see!

Everyone loves It's a Wonderful Life's hero, George Bailey. That's a fact. But what if a historically overlooked character, Sam Wainwright, were given the chance to tell his side of the story? Could he give voice to the people not quite at the center of their community, those less likable types who hold grudges, impress with money, sit on their jealousy, ie. the rest of us? Part morality tale, part vaudevillian romp, HEE-HAW looks at the underbelly of the Holiday Season. You are now leaving Bedford Falls...
