A Christmas Story, the Play

Bandon Playhouse is pleased to present “A Christmas Story.” The holiday classic comes to the stage two weekends, Nov. 29, 30 and Dec. 1, 6, 7, and 8, at the Sprague Community Theater in Bandon, Oregon. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7 p.m., and Sunday performances are at 2 p.m.

Follow adult Ralph Parker down a wintery memory lane as he recalls dinner conversations and Christmas tree shopping with his family, childish pranks with friends and close encounters with neighborhood bullies. And, as the Christmas holiday draws near, Ralphie’s imagination runs wild as he conjures ways to persuade his parents to gift him a genuine Red Ryder BB gun.

“A Christmas Story,” the play, was adapted for stage by Philip Grecian, based on Jean Shepherd’s memoir “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash,” and the 1983 Warner Brother’s film. Audiences for the play will enjoy the hilarious and heartfelt scenes that make the book and movie so memorable.

The Bandon Playhouse community theater production is performed by local youth and adult actors, directed by Stephanie Jones.

Admission is $18 for adults and $15 for youth age 18 and younger. Advance tickets are available on Eventbrite. Black Friday, Nov. 29, is Pay What You Can night. Find ticket links at BandonPlayhouse.org or on the Bandon Playhouse Facebook page. Tickets are also available at the door.

The Sprague Community Theater is located at 1202 11th St. SW in Bandon City Park. This production is presented by special arrangement with the Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois.
