“A Christmas Story”

The Patuxent Playhouse nonprofit community theater group will be holding open auditions for our next production, “A Christmas Story” Performances are scheduled for November 6-7 & 14-15 at St John Vianney Family Life Center in Prince Frederick. The show will be Directed by Mrs. Diane Bramos.

ABOUT “A Christmas Story”
Set during a snowy Christmas season in 1940’s Indiana, nine-year-old Ralphie longs for the ideal Christmas gift, a 200-Shot, Range-Model Air Rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.” But when gruff dad and doting mom, and even a stressed-out Santa quote the usual BB gun warning, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” Ralphie mounts a full-scale, hint dropping campaign that is a sly combination of innocence and calculation. Will anyone hear his pleas or will they all be mesmerized by his Old Man’s “Major Award”?
You’ve seen the movie, now see this holiday classic live on stage!

I wish they had some little 'fill in' type roles for little kids (5-ish) - my daughter would love to be in something like that!

don't they need any 'kids waiting in line for Santa' or something?? LOL

Hope they find someone who fits the personality for the father... seems like a few around here
