Tacoma Little Theatre is proud to present the hysterical holiday classic, “A Christmas Story,” directed by Jennifer York.

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 features Liam Loughridge (Ralphie), Blake R. York (Ralph), Andrew Fry (The Old Man), Heidi Walworth-Horn (Mother), Mason Gibbons and 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).
