Tis the season for...laughter





We attended Pioneer Theater's production of A Christmas Story on Wednesday night. It was delightful and full of laughs. It was so interesting to see the theater company take a beloved classic movie and make it into a live theater production (check out the video clip here.)
Christmas is coming in Hohman, Indiana, and all nine-year-old Ralphie wants for Chrsitmas is the legendary official Red Ryder 200-Shot Carbine Action Range Model Air Rifle with a compass and this thing which tells time built right in the stock. The problem is that every adult in his life, beginning with his mother, is afraid he'll shoot his eye out with it. Ralphie's attempts to persuade Santa and his parents that he should get the Red Ryder gun form the basis for this heartwarming and nostalgic look at growing up in a small town in America in 1938.

That would be cool to see it as a play. Did they have the leg lamp?

I'm so glad you had fun at the play. I'm going to have to check that one out myself next year!

The play was very well done, and they did have the leg lamp, too. Kudos to the Pioneer Theater Company for a play well done.
