‘A CHRISTMAS STORY’ AT THE NCRD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
2023-12-15 19:00 - 21:00, 2023-12-16 19:00 - 21:00, 2023-12-17 14:00 - 16:00 | NCRD PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, 36155 9th Street, OR, United States
A CHRISTMAS STORY, live on stage at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.

Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s 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.

A Christmas Story, a theatrical holiday treat!
