A Christmas Story – A Staged Reading 2011
SUMMARY
Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the midwest in the 1940s 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 Goldblatt'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 is destined to become a theatrical holiday perennial.

Gift of the Magi
12/15/2023 - 12/17/2023
Evergreen Players is happy to announce our holiday double feature of Gift of the Magi and Gift of Fools. The Gift of the Magi is a short Christmas comedy adapted by Jon Jory from the classic holiday story by O. Henry. This heartwarming romantic comedy, narrated by a group of Christmas carolers, tells the story of Della and Jim, who are desperately in love but very poor. In their attempts to buy each other proper Christmas gifts, a strange twist of fate teaches them the importance of the gift of love. Gift of Fools is an unfinished O. Henry story reimagined and completed by local playwrights Scott Gibson, Kathleen Davis, and Marilyn Herrs. Gift of Fools is a humorous tale of five memorable characters on a snowy Christmas eve in the early 1900’s. But who is the fool? It’s up to you to decide. A charming story with an “O. Henry” twist.
