  • A CHRISTMAS STORY Synopsis
    A CHRISTMAS STORY Synopsis Act One The Prologue begins on Christmas Eve “many years ago’ with a middle aged Jean Sheperd walking to the WOR station in NYC to deliver his nationally beloved radio show. He starts to tell us the story of Ralphie Parker, a fictionalized version of his childhood self. The curtain rises on the Parker family home, nestled in the unremarkable town of Hohman, Indiana in 1940, as they try to get out the door for the event of the season: the unveiling of the Higbee’s Department Store holiday window display. Ralphie excitedly announces to us the thing he most longs for: The Official Red Ryder Range Model Carbine Action BB Gun. As he sings, we meet the rest of the Parker family. Mother bustles about, getting everyone suited up and ready to go. The Old Man comes in from the cold, chased by his arch nemeses, the Bumpus Hounds, a pair of bloodhounds who plague him every time he enters and exits the house. Seven-year-old Randy, the baby of the family, endearingly resists going out into the cold Indiana air. Finally, the family members are on their way and arrive at Higbee’s, where it seems all of Hohman has congregated to gaze in awe at the holiday window display (“It All Comes Down To Christmas”). It’s then that Ralphie sees the Red Ryder BB Gun right before his eyes and rapturously fantasizes about how much better his life would be if only he could get that for Christmas (“Red Ryder Carbine-Action BB Gun”).

In 1940's Indiana, a bespectacled boy named Ralphie has a big imagination and one wish for Christmas—a Red Ryder BB Gun.

Based on the classic 1983 movie, A CHRISTMAS STORY, The Musical captures holiday wonder with funny and heartfelt songs, show stopping dancing, delicious wit and a heart of gold.

  • In Search of a Happy Ending a Sermon for Every Sunday, Christmas 2A Matthew 2:13-23
    In Search of a Happy Ending A Sermon for Every Sunday, Christmas 2A Matthew 2:13-23 You’re a mean one, Mister Grinch, and you really are a heel… I’ve spent some time this past week watching my favorite Christmas shows from childhood. And I noticed that when it comes to most of my favorite Christmas movies or TV shows, there’s almost always a happy ending! Take, for instance, The Grinch: “The Grinch hated Christmas, the whole Christmas season. Now please don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason.” He goes down to Whoville and steals everything. He takes everything to the top of Mt. Krumpet. And what happens next? “Well in Whoville they say the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day.” The Grinch carves the roast beast. The story has a happy ending. In “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Jimmy Stewart’s character wants to jump off a bridge. By the end of the story, he is asking his guardian angel to save him. “Clarence. Help me Clarence. I want to live.” Charlie Brown buys the ugliest tree possible. In the end, everybody loves him. Our favorite Christmas stories have happy endings. Today, we hear the conclusion of Matthew’s Christmas story. After listening to the way that Matthew draws his Christmas narrative to a close, you may find yourself wondering – “Is THIS a happy ending?” After all, in just a few verses, we hear how Mary and Joseph have to flee to a foreign country – a refugee family escaping the violence of an out of control king.
