In 1946, almost seventy-four years ago to the day, the New York Times reviewed Frank Capra’s film “It’s a Wonderful Life”, describing it as a “quaint and engaging modern parable on virtue being its own reward” with a “whole slew of cozy small-town characters who have gone through a lot”. One need look no further than 2050 Main Street in Bethlehem, New Hampshire—the home of The Colonial Theatre—for the real-life story of our own pioneering man of great optimism, persistence and dedication to his community. That man is Stephen Dignazio, who has been bringing people together at The Colonial for twenty years, enriching our lives with live music, thought-provoking and entertaining films, and the opportunity to soak up Bethlehem’s past in a historically significant venue.
