"A Christmas Story" The Play Child Audition for Theater

Children ages 8-18 years old are invited to audition for "A Christmas Story" The Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: 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 lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more. A Christmas Story is destined to become a theatrical holiday perennial. Additional info: 10 performances from December 5, 2024 – December 15, 2024. Rehearsals start on or about November 22 to December 4. The audition material is attached. Please note that all employees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before arriving in P.A.
