A play in two acts by Philip Grecian, A Christmas Story is based upon the classic American 1983 motion picture of the same title, written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, and Bob Clark, and “In God we trust, All Others Pay Cash,” by Jean Shepherd. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, 1939, in the fictional northern Indiana town of Hohman, Ralphie Parker desperately wants a Red Ryder BB Gun and will do anything to make sure he gets it.

With a cast of CSU Theatre students as well as children who take part in the “Kids Do It All” Summer Music-Theatre program in June 2012, we TRIPLE-dog-dare you to come out and enjoy this holiday classic for the whole family!
