Based on the hit film, this play tells the story of nine-year-old Ralphie Parker, who longs for a

genuine Red Ryder BB gun.

The source material for the film was the warm and hilarious story collection In God We Trust:

All Others Pay Cash by Hammond, Indiana (just minutes away from Theatre at the Center's

home in Munster) native Jean Shepherd.

A wistful reminder of growing up in a simpler time and tribute to the elusive magic of

Christmas, A CHRISTMAS STORY is a heartwarming family tradition.
