A Christmas Story: The Play at The Pittsburgh Public Theater

A TIMELESS HOLIDAY STORY LIKE NONE OTHER 

In this timeless holiday comedy, nine-year-old Ralphie Parker takes the audience on a hysterical, hijinks-filled avalanche of adventure filled with all the trappings of a perfect family holiday – an exploding furnace, a Little Orphan Annie decoder pin, an innocent experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost, and a wild rash of theatrical fantasies not for the “fra-gee-lay” of heart. After over 40 holiday seasons of delighting audiences, Jean Shepherd’s account of his 1940s upbringing in the Midwest is not just a Christmas story, it’s the Christmas story.
