Rehearsal and Performance Schedule

Rehearsals: October 17- November 20, 2024
Performances: November 21-December 21, 2024 (20-24 performances – Wed-Sun)
NO performances on THANKSGIVING or the Friday afterward.

Available Roles:

Ralphie Parker (9-14) is our young protagonist. Equal parts dreamer and schemer, Ralphie doesn’t just covet an air rifle, he also knows (or thinks he knows) exactly how to persuade the adults around him that his cause is a righteous one.
Randy (younger than Ralphie), Ralphie’s little brother, sure is cute, but getting him to eat his breakfast or don his snowsuit can be a serious headache.
Schwartz and Flick (9-14) are Ralphie’s two best friends. Flick is the unfortunate guinea pig in the infamous frozen-flagpole licking experiment, while Schwartz becomes the scapegoat when Ralphie accidentally utters an unspeakable word.
Scut Farkas (12-18) is the schoolyard bully who routinely torments Ralphie and his friends. He has yellow eyes!
Esther Jane and Helen (9-14) are two of Ralphie’s classmates. Helen is something of a child prodigy, while Esther Jane seems to have a particular interest in our young protagonist.
