By Jean Shepherd

ABOUT THE SHOW:
Philip Grecian’s entertaining stage adaptation of Jean Shepherd’s classic Christmas story about a nine-year-old boy named Ralphie Parker, a.k.a. Ralphie the Kid in his Walter Mitty-esque daydreams, who wants a BB gun for Christmas-and not just any BB gun, but a Red Ryder 200-Shot Carbine-Action Range-Model Air Rifle-and the adults in Ralphie’s life who unanimously fear that he will use the gun to “shoot [his] eye out.”
