In a special holiday offering, JetBlue present's Slow Burn Theatre Company's production of the musical New York magazine called 'A true gift! A sparkling adaptation with a surefire charmer of a score,' when the regional premiere of A Christmas Story, The Musical sponsored by American National Bank comes to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts Amaturo Theater Friday, December 13-Sunday, December 29.

Star of the Day  presents the A CHRISTMAS STORY, the stage version of the classic holiday film based on the stories of Jean Shepherd.

The Georgetown Palace's production of A CHRISTMAS STORY is an action-packed musical extravaganza suitable for the whole family. Based on the 1983 American film classic of the same title, A CHRISTMAS STORY takes us back in time to a post-depression era town in Indiana as narrated by author Jean Shepherd (Art Rodriguez). Shepherd shares with us the story of Ralphie Parker's most memorable boyhood Christmas as told from his perspective and vivid imagination. You see, Ralphie desperately longs for a BB gun, but not just any old BB gun, it must be a 'Red Ryder Carbine action 200-shot Range Model air rifle'. Ralphie is convinced that this one present will not only make his life complete, but with this one present he can be the town hero, if the universe will only grant him this one small wish. In his desperation, Ralphie manages to rattle just about everyone around him, especially his mother, father, little brother, and schoolteacher.
