Experience the Magic of the Holidays with A Christmas Story!

Cleveland Play House's A Christmas Story - live on stage!

By Cleveland Play House November 25, 2024

The holidays are a time for family, laughter, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. This year, why not bring the magic of Christmas to life in an all-new production of the beloved holiday classic, A Christmas Story.

Based on the iconic 1983 film, this heartwarming, hilarious, and endearing tale follows the Parker family as they get ready for the holidays. Ralphie hopes Santa will bring him a Red Ryder BB gun. His mother—wrists-deep in meatloaf and red cabbage—warns “you’ll shoot your eye out.” His old man is preoccupied with a malfunctioning furnace, the neighbor’s rambunctious dogs, and his major award--a glorious leg lamp. His classmates are busy avoiding the local bully and challenging each other to perform“triple dog dares.” Fueled by heroic fantasies, Ralph takes matters into his own hands.

Whether you’re revisiting a cherished tradition or experiencing it for the first time, A Christmas Story offers something for everyone. The show is brimming with laughter, heartfelt moments, and unforgettable characters, now reimagined in a new production, with fresh creative elements, casting, and theme additions to the beloved story.
