You can watch it in 24-hour marathons from Halloween to New Year’s. So why bother going out on a chilly fall evening to see A Christmas Story [3] in person?
Because. It’s a modern-day classic. Timeless. Feel-good. And, to be perfectly honest, it’s funny to watch a little kid get his tongue stuck to a flagpole.
And it’s on stage now at Actors Theatre.
A Christmas Story, based on the 1983 movie [4] by Jean Shepherd, follows the Parker family, and specifically young Ralphie, as they get ready for Christmas. Through some tumultuous tomfoolery, Ralphie persists in his quest to have a Red Rider BB gun show up under the tree on Christmas morning.
A Christmas Story opens Tuesday, November 8th and runs through the 27th at Actors Theatre. Tickets start at $35 and can be purchased online, [5] in person, or by calling the box office at (502) 584-1205.
Actor’s Theatre has several discount ticket offers available, including those for residents who have never before purchased Actor’s tickets, senior and student discounts, and a special “20 at $20” program. See the Actors Theatre website [6] for details and restrictions.
And if you, like Raphie, are taken in by the wonderment of the Red Rider BB gun [7]--don't worry. You can purchase your very own online now at Bass Pro Shops [8].
