A Christmas Story

Holiday Classic

Event Flyer

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.

   Very dissatisfied with the play. The narrator was obnoxious and distracting from the other characters. Would have preferred a voice off stage narrating the story. Recently watched the movie on TV (never seen previously). It was far more enjoyable than your rendition of the story.

 Came from SJ in rain to see Jery Rojas & he absolutely did NOT disappoint . 4 friends who also happened to go & aren’t as biased said he delivered, carried the show & they were so impressed. Entire cast was amazing. Set was incredible & of all things, conecto find out Friday night set designer was none other than Andrew Cummings who first performed @ Lynhaven w/ his buddy, my now 32 yr old son, in SJ before moving to MH! Wild coincidence!

   I thought it was going to be more of a Christmas play for children. I thought it was very long and not as fun as I thought it was going to be. I always admire the actors and all the work that they put forth but for me, it just didn’t cut it this time

   I have been to 3 other Christmas plays here in the past & this is by far the best one. The narrator, adult Ralph, is amazing! The dad & mom were really great as well. They were by far our favorite actors in the play. The only one I would have recasted was Ralphie to match how great the rest of the cast was. He quite hard to understand & lacked the enthusiasm going on around him.

   I loved the show and was so amazed how good the characters played their roles. And I was very happy that it lasted as long as it did. I know that must have took a lot of memorizing.
