A Christmas Story

​

SYNOPSIS

Based on the beloved holiday film, A Christmas Story follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his desperate quest to get a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Set in the 1940s Midwest, Ralphie’s hilarious and heartwarming misadventures include his encounters with a cranky department store Santa, the infamous leg lamp, a triple-dog-dare at the flagpole, and his family’s unforgettable Christmas dinner. Filled with nostalgia, laughs, and classic moments, this stage adaptation captures the spirit of childhood and the magic of the holiday season.
