The Sherman Playhouse will be holding auditions for Jean Sheperd's A CHRISTMAS STORY September 24 & 25 (7-10 PM) at the Sherman Playhouse
5 Route 39 North in Sherman, CT.
Humorist Jean Sheperd's memoir of growing up in the midwest of the 1940s follows young 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. 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 boy's 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!
