season 2024-25

On the Stanley Subaru Stage

OPENS DECEMBER 13!

Directed by Nick Turner, Musical Direction by Stephanie Bradshaw

Based on the movie classic that runs round-the-clock on television every Christmas. Set in the 1940s in the fictional town of Hohman, Indiana, the musical follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas gifts—an Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. A Christmas Story, The Musical will bring an exciting new dimension to those who have seen the movie and will certainly stand on its own for those who haven't.

Based on the enduring classic Charlotte's Web by Maine author E.B. White, this play tells the story of the beloved pig, Wilbur, and his loyal friends. Determined to save her friend from the butcher's block, Charlotte the spider begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes, "Some pig." It's the start of a victorious campaign that, with the help of several animal and human friends, ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful, knowing play about the joy and pain of growing up, and the true meaning of friendship.
