JUST AS KINDLY AND JUST AS COCKEYED AS A CHRISTMAS STORY IS MEANT TO BE” — Orlando Sentinel

BASED ON THE HIT HOLIDAY MOVIE

Gather the entire family for a new holiday theatrical tradition – A CHRISTMAS STORY live on stage! The world’s most famous nine-year-old – Ralphie Parker – takes us on a hysterical, hijinks-filled avalanche of adventure filled with all the trappings of a perfect family holiday – an exploding furnace, an innocent experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, a Red Ryder range bb gun with a compass in the stock, and a wild rash of theatrical fantasies not for the “fra-gee-lay” of heart.  Come see this beloved Christmas story live on stage for a night filled with madcap humor, unforgettable characters, and the true warmth of the holiday season.

Run Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes with 1 intermission
Please Note: A Christmas Story is a family friendly play that contains mild instances of comedic violence and references to bullying. We recommend this show for audiences ages seven and older.
