A Christmas Story, the Play

Celebrate the Holidays with Laughter, Nostalgia, and One Very Iconic BB Gun!

Join us this holiday season for A Christmas Story — the heartwarming and hilarious stage adaptation of the beloved film that has become a festive favorite for generations.

Set in the snowy Midwest of the 1940s, this charming tale follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his one Christmas wish: a genuine Red Ryder BB gun. But no matter who he asks—his mom, his teacher, or even Santa himself—the answer is always the same: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”

Full of unforgettable characters, side-splitting moments, and holiday magic, the show brings all your favorite scenes to life—from the tongue-on-a-lamppost dare to the infamous leg lamp, the decoder pin, the grumpy furnace, and the ultimate Christmas morning surprise.

Perfect for the whole family, A Christmas Story is a joyful, laugh-out-loud celebration of childhood dreams, holiday traditions, and the wonder of the season.

Make it part of your family’s tradition—because some stories are just too good to only watch once a year!


"A Christmas Story is still ... one of the more enchanting ways to be transported to
a world beyond our own. Yet it also serves to remind us how lucky we are to live a
culturally rich life ... and Philip Grecian's thoughtful stage adaptation preserves the
old ... references." —Plain Dealer

"Classics bloom quickly in modern times ... you don't have to have grown up with
9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his ache for an air rifle under the tree to think of A
Christmas Story as a Christmas must. And [this] version is just as kindly and just as
cockeyed as A Christmas Story is meant to be."
—Orlando Sentinel

"Grecian's script retains Shepherd's wry, tongue-in-cheek humor."
—Orange County Register
