Description

Humorist, Jean Shepherd's nostalgic memoir captures 9-year-old Ralphie Parker's determined quest for a Red Ryden BB gun in the 1940s Midwest. Despite pleading with his mother, teacher, and even Santa Claus, all he hears is the ominous warning, 'You'll shoot your eye out!' The story brims with iconic scenes from the beloved film, including the temperamental furnace, encounters with the school bully, and the famous tongue-on-lamppost experiment. With Ralphie's vivid fantasies and more, A Christmas Story promises to be a timeless holiday favorite on stage. RATED PG Public Ticketing begins on Monday, November 25th.
