A Christmas Story

Based off the family favorite movie, this stage production by Jean Shepherd is the story of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker on his quests to get a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. The delightful comedic plot elements include the family's temperamental exploding furnace, Scut the school bully, experiments with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and Ralphie's father winning a lamp shaped like a woman's leg in a net stocking. fairbanksdrama.org
