Tacoma Little Theatre Adds Extra Show to Run of A CHRISTMAS STORY

Tacoma Little Theatre is adding an extra Thursday night performance to its production of A CHRISTMAS STORY to meet demand. This performance will be on Thursday, December 17, 2015 at 7:30pm.

Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the midwest in the 1940's 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. The consistent response: "You'll shoot your eye out!" All the elements from the beloved movie are here: 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 leg lamp, Ralphie's fantasy scenarios, and more.

This production is directed by Jennifer York and features Liam Loughridge (Ralphie), Blake R. York (Ralph), Andrew Fry (The Old Man), Heidi Walworth-Horn (Mother), Mason Gibbons & Luke Miller (Randy), Jessica Robins (Miss Shields), Tyler Saum (Schwartz), JJ Greenwell (Fick), Haylie Hetland (Esther Jane), Evan Sherman (Scut Farkas), Ron Bauer (Ensemble), Veronica Bauer (Ensemble), and Augusta Greenwell (Ensemble).
