For those living in the LA area, Stephanie will be appearing in the Pasadena Playhouse's production of It's A Wonderful Life next weekend, December 9-11th. She'll be playing the Mary Bailey (Donna Reed) role. Here's a link to information about the production on the Playhouse's website: www.pasadenaplayhouse.org/life.html. |

That would be great, and I would love to see her on stage, but isn't that role usually played by someone a little younger? No offense to SZ intended at all, but even by the final scene "Mary" is only in her early 30's, wouldn't you say?j

Mary actually should be mid to late 30's in the film, she graduated High School during the 20's, went to college before she was married, and the film takes place after WWII.
But it's a play, age really doesn't make as much difference in the theater as film (hence all those 30 and 40 yr old actors playing Romeo & Juliet). Robert Picardo (who muct be in his 50s) seems to be playing George. Besides it looks like they're doing it as a Radio Play:
“Lux presents…Hollywood!” It's 1947, the golden age of radio, and that now celebrated line introduces a nation to a groundbreaking radio program, Lux Radio Theatre. And no radio program was more popular than the legendary 1947 presentation of Frank Capra's classic It's A Wonderful Life. Now, Pasadena Playhouse invites you back in time to experience Lux Radio Theatre live as actors, musicians and the famed “sound man” re-create this holiday favorite!

Very cool. Wish she would come to Indy for something.

Quite frankly, I wouldn't care if SZ were 100 years old and playing a thirty-something. I'm always happy to hear she is enjoying her career on the stage.
It's very true that in theatre age doesn't matter anything like it does in movies or TV, because in theatre, everyone is usually so far from the action --- no close-ups. In radio, it makes even less of a difference - no visuals.
Sure wish I could have seen the play.
