A Christmas Story
Adapted from Jean Shepherd by Phillip Grecian
Directed by James Goode
It’s all here in Jean Sheperd’s official Christmas memoir that inspired the cult classic movie: the freezing flagpole, Dad’s leg lamp, the bunny suit, and of course the "Red Ryder carbine-action, two hundred shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock and a thing which tells time." Bring the whole family – we triple-dog-dare you!
