A Christmas Story

November 18 - December 11

Purchase tickets here

Opening soon on Friday, November 18th is the much beloved play, A Christmas Story. Based on humorist, Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s, and the 1983 movie. The story follows young Ralphie Parker who is on a mission to convince his mom & dad that he needs a "genuine" Red Ryder BB gun from Santa at Christmas. Ralphie is so intent on the idea that he even pleads his case to Miss Shields, his teacher, who utters the same words he keeps hearing from the parents... "you'll shoot your eye out!" Nonetheless, Ralphie persists. The play includes all of the hilarious and memorable moments seen in the movie.

The show will run through December 11th. Tickets are on sale now at the button below for performances on Friday & Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Reserved seats are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors 62+, and $15 for children 17 and under.

Auditioning this Weekend!

When: Saturday and Sunday, November 5th and 6th at 6:00 p.m.

Directed by Angela Baltezore, Choreographed by Jacob Gutiérrez-Montoya (recent Director/Choreographer of In The Heights), with Music Direction by Dean Mora - this show will be an exciting one! Set in the French capital in the wake of World War II, An American in Paris tells the romantic story of a young American soldier, a beautiful French girl, and an indomitable European city – each yearning for a new beginning in the aftermath of international conflict. Inspired by the Academy-Award winning 1951 film, the new stage musical features a ravishing score by George and Ira Gershwin and a fresh, sophisticated book by Tony nominee and Pulitzer Prize finalist Craig Lucas. The show’s timeless musical numbers include “I Got Rhythm,” “‘S Wonderful,” “But Not for Me,” “The Man I Love,” “Shall We Dance?” and “(I’ll Build A) Stairway to Paradise.”
