November 2022 – Bronxville and Pelham, NY – The Picture House Regional Film Center (www.thepicturehouse.org) announced today that free screenings of It’s a Wonderful Life, an annual holiday tradition at TPH, will take place on Thursday, December 22 at Bronxville and Friday, December 23 at Pelham.

His guardian angel, Clarence, must show George how important he has been to the people of the small town of Bedford Falls, in this timeless classic.

TPH’s Director of Programming Clayton Bushong said “It’s a Wonderful Life is a must-see during the holiday season, and getting to watch it in a theater is truly special. The Picture House is thrilled to be able to screen it for the public at no charge, especially this year as we bring a beloved Pelham tradition to Bronxville as well.”

Rich Heller, sponsor of the TPH Pelham screening of It’s a Wonderful Life, said “Here in the Pelhams, we enrich one another’s relationships, often in ways we are unaware of. Whether we are shopping, walking down the street, or going to The Picture House, we see people we know and have the opportunity to encourage one another in a way that would not happen anywhere else. Come celebrate our community and all we do to support and uplift one another at this free showing of It’s a Wonderful Life.”
