What began as a theatrical production has become an ann ual homecoming—for the performers\, the creative team\, and generations of guests who return year after year. To celebrate the 20th Anniversary\, we asked the people who bring this beloved holiday classic to life what ke eps them coming back and which moments continue to make the show so specia l. Kevin Dutcher: “The people in this show are my chosen family.” For Kevin Dutcher\, the heart of the production has always been the people. “The love of performing with my dearest friends\,” he says. “I’ve known everyone in the cast for 30 years\, but the bonds run deeper than th at. I’ve been in the wedding party of three cast members\, held many of their newborn children\, and attended the weddings of many of those same k iddos. The people in this show are my chosen family.” After two decades\ , those friendships have become just as much a tradition as the performanc e itself. Jim Cunningham: Every audience brings something new. While the s tory remains timeless\, one part of every performance is completely unique —the Audience Radio Grams. “We never know what we’ll get\,” Jim sa ys. “There’s always laughter and messages of love and hope.” Over th e years\, audiences have shared birthdays\, anniversaries\, birth announce ments\, marriage proposals\, and countless milestones\, creating unforgett able moments that make every show one of a kind. Ross Young: It’s all ab out connection. Ross Young’s favorite memories come from the connections made on stage and in the audience. Whether it’s a meaningful glance sha red with fellow cast member Jennifer Edwards during “Auld Lang Syne” o r surprising children in the audience with Saint Paul Hotel stocking caps\ , it’s those personal moments that stay with him long after the final cu rtain. Adena Brumer: “This show is part of my DNA.” For Adena Brumer\, returning each holiday season simply feels like coming home. “The cast\ , the hotel\, the staff at the hotel\, the audience… this show is part o f my DNA\, and I can’t imagine my life without it.” Seeing longtime au dience members\, welcoming first-time guests\, and being greeted by The Sa int Paul Hotel staff each year are all part of what makes this tradition s o meaningful. Phil Callen: A family holiday tradition. “The tradition an d the people.” That’s what keeps Phil Callen returning year after year . “The Saint Paul Hotel is absolutely magical during the holidays. This tradition has become a central part of my family’s holiday experience. I t’s the longest holiday tradition I’ve had in my life.” Sharing the season with fellow cast members and the hotel’s familiar faces has made this production an irreplaceable part of the holidays. Rebecca Karstad: Ce lebrating tradition behind the scenes. Costume designer Rebecca Karstad ha s helped create the show’s timeless look for years. Her reason for retur ning is beautifully simple: “My deep love of traditions and the fun of w orking with all these beautiful people.” Christopher Whiting: Keeping au diences guessing. Christopher Whiting loves the moments that catch audienc es by surprise. “My favorite moments are the gags that surprise the audi ence. Sometimes people ask if something that happened was an accident. The n I know I got ’em!” Those unexpected laughs have become part of what makes every performance memorable. Mark Bergen: The moment that defines Ge orge Bailey. Director Mark Bergen points to one quiet scene as his favorit e. When George Bailey offers kindness and encouragement to Violet before s he leaves Bedford Falls\, “that short\, quiet scene says everything abou t George Bailey.” It’s a reminder that compassion is often found in li fe’s smallest moments. Dan Duke: A message of hope. “There are lots\, ” Dan Duke says\, “but my favorite is when George Bailey realizes he w ants to live again.” It’s the emotional heart of the story—and one t hat continues to resonate with audiences after all these years. Jennifer E dwards: From joyful music to heartfelt emotion. Jennifer Edwards treasures both the laughter and the emotion of the production. “My favorite pre-s how moment is singing ‘Man With the Bag’ with Adena. She is the Queen of harmonies.” Her favorite scene in the play comes when Uncle Billy rea lizes the bank deposit is missing. “It’s crushing\, and it changes the trajectory of the show. Things get very real\, leading to incredibly poig nant family scenes where celebrating the holiday becomes layered with hope \, love\, and sacrifice.” A Holiday Tradition That Feels Like Home For 2 0 years\, the cast of It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play has made The Saint Paul Hotel the backdrop for one of the Twin Cities’ most belov ed holiday traditions. Their stories reveal that while audiences come for the nostalgia and timeless message\, it’s the friendships\, family\, and sense of home that have kept this remarkable cast together for two decade s. This holiday season\, celebrate the 20th Anniversary of It’s a Wonder ful Life: A Live Radio Play and experience the warmth\, laughter\, and hea rt that have made this production a treasured tradition at The Saint Paul Hotel for generations.

 This event is inspired by Ci rcus World Museum in Baraboo\, Wisconsin. \nCo-sponsors: Ring 80 of Circus Model Builders. \nWhat are Circus Trains? \nCircus trains began in the 1 870s\, by replacing the shows that moved by slow animal-drawn wagons.  Ov er the years these trains grew in length as the train cars switched from wood to steel construction.  Circus trains typically consisted of three t ypes of cars: large animal cars\, flat cars loaded with colorful wagons an d passenger cars for the workers and performers.  They were usually found in the train in that order.  Circus cars were generally longer than norm al freight cars because the railroads charged by the car & mile.  They we re painted very colorful to attract attention.  The greatest number of ci rcus trains operated between 1920 and 1950.  Over those years many merged and others went broke.\nOur O-Scale train was inspired by the “Circus W orld Museum” in Baraboo\, Wisconsin. The museum has a very large collect ion of train cars\, wagons\, events\, and other circus collections for you to see.  Our train features models of many of these wagons faithfully mo deled in O-Scale.  O-Scale works out to 1 to 48 and ¼” equals 1 foot.\ nOur Circus Train reenacts this operation on our large O-scale layout with an operating Circus Train\, several displays and a Parade staged in one o f our towns. \nAdmission \nAdmission to this special event is included in the Museum’s regular admission price of $10 per person\, Children 4 and under are admitted free of charge.
