More About A Christmas Story presented by Chicago Street Theatre
Adapted by Phil Grecian
Director Mary Bird Matern
Assisted by Jeff Schultz
Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the midwest in the 1940s 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 at Higbee's Department Store. The consistent response: "You'll shoot your eye out!" All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family's temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys' experiment with a wet tongue on a cold flagpole; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; and Ralphie's father's Major Award.
Chicago Street Theatre has a long history with this play as we were the first community theatre ever to stage it back in the year 2000.
No patrons under 3 will be admitted to theatre and every patron must have a seat (no lap seating).
Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois

More About Chicago Street Theatre
Chicago Street Theatre is celebrating its 65th season of producing live theatre for Valparaiso and the greater Northwest Indiana region. After over 4 decades in residence at Memorial Opera House, our award-winning theatre company began a new chapter of its history in 1997 when we purchased the Chicago Street Theatre, located at 154 West Chicago Street in Valparaiso, Indiana. The theatre underwent an extensive renovation completed February 1, 2008. The theatre lobby, auditorium, and bathrooms were re-designed by the Chicago firm Morris Architects, and construction was expertly managed by Winona Lake Restoration. The intimate 130-seat theatre features stadium seating that makes it an incredible space to enjoy live theatre.
