You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.
How many times do you think you’ve enjoyed the film? Now it’s your turn to see it come to life on stage in a fresh new way — with all your favorite comic moments! 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 (“You’ll shoot your eye out!”). All the elements from the beloved movie are in this play, including that temperamental furnace, the Scut Farkus affair, the “double dog dare ya” with the flagpole at school, the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin, Ralphie’s dad’s “major award” (a.k.a. the leg lamp), and much more.

Mead Theatre [Schuster Center]

Before Hamilton, there was IN THE HEIGHTS. Lin-Manuel Miranda’s four-time Tony Award-winning musical tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood — a place where the coffee from the corner bodega is light and sweet, the windows are always open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. It’s a community on the brink of change, full of hopes, dreams and pressures, where the biggest struggles can be deciding which traditions to take with you and which ones you leave behind.
