Theatrical Outfit is thrilled to announce the special return engagement of "A CHRISTMAS STORY," taking the stage from Wednesday, November 20th to Christmas Eve, Tuesday, December 24th, 2024, at Theatrical Outfit in Downtown Atlanta's vibrant heart.
Invite the whole family to revisit your beloved holiday theatrical tradition with "A CHRISTMAS STORY" live on stage!
Join the world's most renowned nine-year-old, Ralphie Parker, on a rollicking adventure brimming with hysterical antics and the quintessential elements of a perfect family holiday—an exploding furnace, the ideal pink bunny pajamas, and a flurry of theatrical fantasies not for the faint of heart. Experience this cherished Christmas tale onstage for an evening of wild humor, timeless characters, and the genuine spirit of the holiday season.
Reprising their roles in this classic story are: Robin Bloodworth (Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery) as The Old Man/Santa, Tom Key (The White Chip) as Ralph, Brittani Minniweather as Miss Shields, Maria Rodriguez-Sager (Tiny Beautiful Things) as Mother, August Smith as Randy (in select performances), and Max Walls as Ralphie Parker. Welcoming new faces this year: Aniya Bent as Helen Weathers, Sully Brown as Scut Farkus, Rahul Daswani as Schwartz, Oliver Gold as Flick, Adrienne Ocfemia as Esther Jane Alberry, and Michael Wood as Randy (in select performances).
Artistic Director Matt Torney shares, "In choosing a show that audiences of all ages could enjoy and that captures the essence of our season's theme 'heart,' 'A CHRISTMAS STORY' consistently emerged as a top choice. For many, the tradition of watching the film with loved ones is a cherished holiday ritual, one that can even run continuously for 24 hours. Jean Shepherd, the humorist behind the original novel that sparked the craze, perfectly captured our nostalgic childhood memories of Christmas."
