A CHRISTMAS STORY Premieres in South Bend, 12/1
By: A.A. Cristi Nov. 13, 2017
South Bend Civic Theatre is proud to present A Christmas Story. The production will run December 1-23 in the Civic's Wilson Theatre. A Christmas Story is written by PHILIP GRECIAN, based on the movie by JEAN SHEPERD, Leigh Brown, and Bob Clark.
Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s follows eight-year-old Ralphie in his quest to get "an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle [BB gun]" under the tree for Christmas. All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the exploding furnace, the school bully, the wet tongue on a cold lamppost, the Bumpus Dogs and the "leg lamp". A Christmas Story is a theatrical holiday perennial.
The father/son acting team of Don Elliott and Jack Elliott, play the father and son roles in A Christmas Story, The Old Man and Ralphie. Director Bill Heimann.
