A
Christmas Story
By Philip Grecian
Based on the motion picture A
Christmas Story, © 1983 Turner Entertainment Co.,
distributed by Warner Bros., written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh
Brown and Bob Clark; and on the book In God We Trust, All
Others Pay Cash by Jean Shepherd.
Directed by John David Collier
December 4 - 20
Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of
growing up in Indiana in the 1940s follows nine-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 Goldblatt'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 is destined to become a theatrical
holiday perennial.
