Auditions for A Christmas Story continue tonight at 7 pm! There are roles for adults and kids ages 7-12. You don’t need to prepare anything and all are welcome!
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!" It’s a Christmas classic full of laughter and holiday cheer!
