Dawson Carter as The Old Man (Ralphie’s father):
Dawson, making his Riverbend Players debut, is a sneakerhead, basketball card collector, evening lap swimmer, and sunny-day real estate listener. Partner to Jacqui, dad to Quincy, Brody, Weston, Velvet the Beta Fish, and Honey the German Shepherd. Grateful to Jacqui for the comeback opportunity 15 years later and to Quincy for sharing his light. #WholeHeart
A CHRISTMAS STORY:
Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.
Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store.
The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.
A Christmas Story, a theatrical holiday treat!
