CCPA_A Christmas Story logoA CHRISTMAS STORY
Covedale Center for the Performing Arts
Nov. 29-Dec. 23
[West Price Hill]

Directed by Tim Perrino

Cast: Nicole Capobianco as the Mother, Chris Bishop as the Old Man, Eric Schaumloffel as Ralphie, Henry Charles Weghorst as Randy, Madison Pullins as Miss Shields, Thomas Hart Boeing as Adult Ralphie/Narrator, Peter Waning as Flick, Noah Jeffreys as Schwartz, Ruthie Darnell as Esther Jane, Clare Graff as Helen & Mitchell Wolking as Scut Farkas

“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!”   Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in 1940’s Indiana, follows Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to his mother, his teacher and Santa Claus himself at Goldblatt’s Department Store. All the elements from the beloved movie are here – the family’s temperamental furnace, the school bully Scut Farkas, the boys’ bet concerning a wet tongue on an icy lamppost, the Little Orphan Annie decoder ring;  and Ralphie’s father winning “a major award” – the lady’s leg lamp in a fishnet stocking! A Christmas Story has become a theatrical holiday classic!

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is a refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel involving manners, courtship and relationships. When the independent-minded Elizabeth Bennet meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, all feelings of attraction are muted by his pride and her prejudice. As their worlds keep colliding, their attraction increases and the sparks begin to fly in directions no one could have predicted. Arguably the most beloved of Austen’s works, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE comes to life with all the wit and romance from the classic novel.

Tickets can be ordered at nku.edu/sotatickets or by calling the Box Office at 859-572-5464.
