A Christmas Story

A Christmas Story at Ahmanson Theater

Why see A Christmas Story?

The Holiday Classic comes to the stage

What do a leg lamp, pink bunny pajamas, and a department store Santa all have in common? Why, they're all featured in the beloved Yuletide movie A Christmas Story of course! Following the exploits of pint-sized protagonist Ralphie, Bob Clark's holiday classic jumps from the screen and onto the Ahmanson Theatre's stage in this Tony-winning musical adaptation this December!

What is the story?

The bespectacled youngster Ralphie has his hands full dodging bullies and dreaming of the perfect Christmas present - a Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. Much to his chagrin, his pleas fall on deaf ears, his mother, teacher and even a local Santa say the dangerous toy is more likely to take an eye out than provide hours of endless entertainment. When the big day finally approaches, there are many wonderful presents waiting for Ralphie under the tree, but no sign of the coveted BB gun...
