Synopsis: ​
Throughout his life, George Bailey has solved problems by putting others’ needs ahead of his own. But on one Christmas Eve, it would seem as though he has met his match with a situation he cannot fix. When George feels like there is no other option than to leave everything behind, he is promptly met by Clarence, a guardian angel. Clarence takes George on a journey around town, showing him what the world would be like if he never existed, and if none of his good deeds transpired.
​
This story is told by an ensemble cast, retelling it as a radio broadcast in 1945. The stage is set as a radio studio and the audience becomes the studio audience. Actors tell the story together through their voices and foley sound effects.

This unforgettable show — “A Salute to Conway & Loretta” — is more than a concert. It’s a living, breathing celebration of two of country music’s most iconic voices. And this special date includes a Loretta Lynn Christmas performance to warm your heart and stir up holiday nostalgia.
You’ll hear timeless hits like:
“Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man”
“After the Fire Is Gone”
“You’re the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly”
“Hello, Darlin’”
“Coal Miner’s Daughter”
…plus heartwarming Christmas songs and personal stories that make this night one-of-a-kind.
From the moment Tre and Tayla lock eyes onstage, audiences are transported. With undeniable chemistry, authentic storytelling, and a deep respect for their roots, Twitty & Lynn don’t impersonate — they honor. The result? A 90-minute journey through music, memory, and emotion.
