Christmas is a time of great expectations, especially through the eyes of a child. For nine-year-old Ralphie Parker, that great expectation is a genuine Red Ryder 200 Shot Carbine Action Air Rifle. No self-respecting cowboy would be without one. Unfortunately, his mother, teacher and even the Santa Claus toiling away at Goldblatt’s Department Store have the same reaction to his Christmas wish: “You’ll shoot your eye out!” But for Ralphie, the longing for that special BB gun symbolizes maturity, responsibility, adventure and manhood. Based on the touching and wacky film that has become a modern day holiday tradition, A Christmas Story returns to delight the whole family and fill you with the spirit of the season.

Approx. Performance Run Time: 2 hours, with one 15 minute intermission.

San Jose Rep has joined efforts with our local Toys for Tots program.
We strongly encourage you to drop off a new, unwrapped toy at the theater to help less fortunate children this holiday season!

For under $100, your family can have the time of their life at the hilarious and heart-warming stage production of the classic holiday film. In the immortal words of Ralphie’s father, “It’s Your Major Award!”
