Description:

Child performers are invited to audition for the "A Christmas Story" Show. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: A young boy named Ralphie Parker only wants one thing for Christmas: a Red Ryder BB gun. However, he is not sure he will ever make it to Christmas because of his brother Randy and the school bully, Scut Farkus. Whenever he tells someone how much he wants it, they tell him he will shoot his eye out and refuse to get it for him. Even a department store Santa Claus tells him the same thing. After Ralphie gets a C+, he gets teased again by Scut. In response, Ralphie beats him very badly while cursing loudly. However, his parents do not get mad at him, and on Christmas morning, he gets the BB gun, since his father had one at that age. When he tries it out, the BB ricochets and knocks off his glasses, which he accidentally steps on while looking for them. He makes up a story about an icicle, and his parents believe him. In the end, a horde of dogs comes in and steals the Christmas turkey, so his family goes out for “Chinese turkey,” or duck. Additional info: Come audition for this Holiday classic!
