Oliver Arnold as Ralphie:
Oliver Finch Arnold has had a passion for drama since he could talk! He loves wolves, Zelda, playing soccer, baseball, reading, and art. This is his 2nd performance with Riverbend Players after making his debut as the Young George Bailey in the holiday classic IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Oliver lives in Manzanita with his parents, his pup Saoirse, and his wolf Wander.
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!

Our friend and neighbor, and vital member of our community, Sharla Smith, has unexpectedly lost her home. It literally fell apart, just as winter is starting. She needs help to build temporary shelter for herself, while she works to find solutions for permanent housing. Please donate to this GO FUND me set up for her- to raise funds for building materials, but also, please, let’s go above and beyond, and try and provide her with funds for a new home. She has had many trials, trauma, and struggles to overcome within her life, but always continues to give love and support to others. Let’s do the same for her now.
Please help, if you can.
Thank you!

Muslim & Jewish Mothers’ Prayer
A Prayer for Life and Peace
by Rabbi Tamar Elad-Appelbaum of Jerusalem & Sheikha Ibtisam,Palestinian in Israel
God of Life
Who heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds
May it be your will to hear the prayer of mothers
For you did not create us to kill each other
Nor to live in fear, anger or hatred in your world
But rather you have created us so we can grant permission to one another
to sanctify Your name of Life, your name of Peace in this world.
