5 roles

RalphieMale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

A 5th grade boy who wants an Air Rifle for Christmas. He is bright, winsome, mischievous, cute. Not a smart-aleck or overly precocious, Ralphie's imagination drives several scenes. An excellent singer and fluent reader with mega-watt stage presence. Ralphie's dance is minimal.

RandyMale7-8 y.o.All ethnicities

Ralphie's younger brother, cute, cuddly, lovable and whiny-like most baby brothers! He looks up to his big brother, tries to keep up with him, and is young enough that he can be convinced to eat his dinner like a baby piggy! An excellent singer, a good dancer, a fluent reader and has strong stage presence.

FlickMale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

A classmate and best buddy of Ralphie's; Flick is the guinea pig in the flagpole licking experiment. Able to sustain and communicate with a serious lisp.

SchwartzMale9-10 y.o.All ethnicities

A classmate and best buddy of Ralphie; Schwartz becomes the scapegoat when Ralphie utters an unmentionable word.

Scut FarkusMale12-13 y.o.All ethnicities

A textbook example of a schoolyard bully, loud, obnoxious and intimidating. This truant is a year or two older than Ralphie and his friends and wears a perpetual scowl under his coonskin cap.
