  3. A Christmas Story


A TIMELESS HOLIDAY STORY LIKE NONE OTHER!In this timeless holiday comedy, nine-year-old Ralphie Parker takes the audience on a hysterical, hijinks-filled avalanche of adventure filled with all the trappings of a perfect family holiday an exploding furnace, a Little Orphan Annie decoder pin, an innocent experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and a wild rash of theatrical fantasies not for the fra-gee-lay of heart. After over 40 holiday seasons of delighting audiences, Jean Shepherds account of his 1940s upbringing in the Midwest is not just a Christmas story, its the Christmas story.

Review: A CHRISTMAS STORY Continues the Marathon at Pittsburgh Public Theater
Review: A CHRISTMAS STORY Continues the Marathon at Pittsburgh Public Theater
December 14, 2023

It's back! Just last year I made the prediction that Philip Grecian's A Christmas Story: The Play would become a yearly staple, becoming the Christmas equivalent of Rocky Horror. To my delight, I was correct. Distinct from the more popular but more sentimentalized musical version by Pasek and Paul, Grecian's play version amplifies the farcical qualities and kid-brain surrealism of Jean Shepherd's memoirs into a fast, funny and chaotic offering. It may run two and a half hours, but this one flies by like a ninety minute movie without commercials.
