Add Review/Comment | Read Reviews/Comments

This classic Christmas movie comes to life on stage this holiday season! This Christmas Ralphie Parker is consumed with the desire for a Red Ryder BB rifle. A deceptively dangerous playground dare, an unforgettable visit with a department store Santa, and a bizarre, gaudy radio contest prize are among the vivid childhood memories told with warmth and a sleigh-load of laughs. Bring the whole family for a nostalgic, heartwarming kid’s-eye-view of the holidays.

      A Christmas Story, a theatrical adaptation by Phillip Grecian of the 1983 movie based on the writings of Jean Shepherd, has all the moments from the film that have become remembered as classic Christmas memories. The triple-dog-dare that gets Flick’s tongue stuck to the lamp post, the brazen leg lamp, the bully Skut Farkas, and Ralphie’s Christmas wish for the a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-Shot, Range Model Air Rifle that drives the plot from beginning to end. As narrated by Steve Swift, the humor is generously dispensed, as he wanders through the scenes that come to life as he remembers that particular Christmas in Hammond, Indiana. Beautifully directed by Cecilia Wingate, the children, Jeremy Belote (Ralphie), Brooks Eikner, (Flick), Ryan Patterson (Schwartz), Curtis Scott (Skut), Harli Kurdelmeyer (Esther Jane), Janie Peacock(Helen) and Evan Walsh (Randy) play a mixture of well behaved, responsible to misbehaving bully with charming aplomb. You couldn’t ask for a better adult cast, Steve Swift as Grown Ralphie, Sam Weakley playing “The Old Man”, Jaclyn Suffel as Mother and Gail Black as Miss Shields, the school teacher. There are many priceless moments as this family negotiates the daily routine and the hilariously unexpected in those few weeks leading up to Santa’s arrival. Collapse
