The classic movie comes to hilarious life on stage! In 1940s Indiana, a young, bespectacled Ralphie schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. An infamous leg lamp, an outrageous set of pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the obstacles that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish.

Estimated Run Time: 2 hours and 30 minutes (including one 15 minute intermission)

Recommended for ages 8 and older.

The listed age is a recommendation, but please use your own discretion when making a decision for your young theatergoer.
