Bells will ring & Angels will get wings this November at the Capitol!
Doors will open one hour prior.
Drinks and concessions available.
The Capitol Theater of Downtown Greeneville, Tennessee is pleased to announce that they’ll be bringing one the most beloved movies of all time to their screen as part of their Classics at the Capitol series. On November 24th at 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM, the Capitol Theatre will be showing Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. This 1946 classic, which stars James Stewart and Donna Reed, has become a staple of the Christmas season. Tickets for this event will be only $5.00 and will be available at the door and online.
It’s A Wonderful Life is the story of George Bailey, a small town business man who is desperate and on the brink of committing suicide. Heavenly intervention takes place in the from on a junior angel named Clarence who shows George what the world would be like without him and teaches him the lesson that “no man who has friends is a failure.” Directed by Frank Capra, a man who made some of the most American films of all time, It’s a Wonderful Life was a massive flop upon its original release. Over time, and numerous TV airings, the film has become as much a part of the Christmas season as Jingle Bells and overeating.
It’s a Wonderful Life will be introduced by local columnist and film writer Andy Ross, “There’s a certain hallmark to Christmas movies, and it doesn’t get much bigger than It’s a Wonderful Life. I’m so excited to be introducing this one at the Capitol to give the Christmas season a proper kick off.”
Classics at The Capitol is the monthly film series featured at the historic Capitol Theater, which operated as a movie theater from 1934 to 1992. The monthly series is dedicated to bringing a wide range of films to the community as they were went to be seen, with an audience, on the big screen.

John Berry has a new outlook, a new address and a new beginning. The singer-songwriter rose to stardom on the country charts of the 1990s with such mega hits as “Your Love Amazes Me,” “Standing on the Edge of Goodbye” and “She’s Taken a Shine.” He has earned multiple Gold and Platinum records over the years. John was nominated for the ACM Top New Male Vocalist in 1994, won a Grammy Award in 1996 for his participation in Amazing Grace: A Country Salute to Gospel Vol. 1. In 1997 he was nominated for Vocal Event of the Year (for Long Haired Country Boy with Charlie Daniels and Hal Ketchum) and in 2013 John was nominated for the Mainstream Country Male Artist by the ICM Awards. And thanks to the miracles of modern technology, he even sang a duet with the late, great Patsy Cline. “I love what I do, with a passion not seen in quite some time,” says Berry. “I’m hopeful and excited about the future. I love singing and always will.” His annual Christmas tours brighten the holidays for thousands, as does his electrifying rendition of O’ Holy Night. We invite you to join John for an evening of stories, memories and a traditional Holiday music filled event for the entire family.
