CENTERstage Productions is thrilled to present the play adaptation of A Christmas Story 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. Directed by Rik Lopes.

Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the midwest in the 1940s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee's Department Store. The consistent response: "You'll shoot your eye out!" All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family's temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys' experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie's father winning a lamp shaped like a woman's leg in a net stocking; Ralphie's fantasy scenarios and more. A Christmas Story is destined to become a theatrical holiday perennial.

Featuring Harvey Ryan (Ralphie Parker), Eric Ryan (Ralph Parker), Molly Feibel (Mother), Howie Riggs (The Old Man), Eli Molinaro (Randy), Jessica Boyd (Miss Shields), Tatiyana Tillman (Flick), Luke Pomeroy (Schwartz), Linus Ramakrishnan (Scut Farkus), Coraline Dell’Amore (“Toady”), Abby Klein (Esther Jane), and Lois Musgrove (Helen). The ensemble includes Jill Besterfield, Ronnie Carlson, Liz Crew, Brooke Dye-Fuentes, Kathleen Klein, Archer Ryan, Conan Ryan, Lou Simone, and Shawn Wodraska.

PRODUCED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT WITH THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY OF WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS
