A Christmas Story the play

By Philip Grecian

Based on the motion picture A Christmas Story, © 1983 Turner Entertainment Co., distributed by Warner Bros., written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown and Bob Clark; and on the book In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash by Jean Shepherd. 

"You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!"

About the Show

The classic movie comes to hilarious life on stage! In 1940s Indiana, a young, bespectacled Ralphie schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. An infamous leg lamp, an outrageous set of pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the obstacles that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish.

Estimated Run Time: 2 hours (plus one 15 minute intermission)

Recommended for ages 8 and older.

Critic's Corner

" Both warmly nostalgic and darkly humorous, A Christmas Story deserves its status as a holiday perennial."
"With much affectionate humor, A Christmas Story recalls vividly what it was like to be a kid at Christmas in a more innocent era."
"Delightfully entertaining, with a wryly amusing narration to keep the adults in the audience smirking."
