Torben Mularski plays Ralphie on the 2025 tour. You believe his determination even when the objective is absurd. Gregory White as The Old Man is a steady comedic presence, delivering the recognizable gruff warmth that anchors the household.

I think there are plenty of original ideas out there to mine before we have to go that route. Of course, I’m not a playwright and that’s a lot easier said than done.
