Based on the humorous writings of author Jean Shepherd, this beloved holiday movie follows the wintry exploits of youngster Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), who spends most of his time dodging a bully (Zack Ward) and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a “Red Ryder air rifle.” Frequently at odds with his cranky dad (Darren McGavin) but comforted by his doting mother (Melinda Dillon), Ralphie struggles to make it to Christmas Day with his glasses and his hopes intact.

Family Activities

When you get to the theatre, youngsters (and those young at heart!) can pick up free hands-on activities and crafts based on the movie and designed to spark explorations of its themes.  Activities include:

• A make-your-own Christmas tree ornament, with beloved images and quotes from “A Christmas Story”
• Make-your-own finger puppets, along with an activity to explore bullying as it appears in the movie
• Special appearances by our very own mascot, Kit the Fox

So come early, grab good seats, and enjoy the activities + explorations!
