Farmington Players Hold Auditions for A CHRISTMAS STORY, 8/29

The Farmington Players present A CHRISTMAS STORY by Philip Grecian, directed by: Maureen Mansfield.

Ralphie wants one thing for Christmas: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-Shot, Range Model
Air Rifle. Meanwhile, the Old Man wins an major award, a tongue gets stuck to a pole, and
the "mother of all words" is uttered in this 1940s all-American Christmas tale. True to the
movie, "A Christmas Story" is a favorite of young and old.

There are roles for children as well as adults.

The show dates are November 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27 December 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12.

Auditions will be held Sunday, August 29, 2010 at The Farmington Players Barn, 32332 West Twelve Mile Road, Farmington Hills, MI 48334.
