The Gilbert Theater Presents A Christmas Story
This year, instead of watching A Christmas Story on TV, share this holiday classic with friends and family as part of a live audience! Based on the 1983 film, Philip Grecian?s play brings humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the midwest in the 1940s to the stage as we follow 9-year-old Ralphie 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.
