A Christmas Story

November 18 - December 11

Purchase tickets here

A Christmas Story is the hilarious play based on humorist, Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s, and the 1983 movie. Young Ralphie Parker wants only one thing for Christmas: a Red Ryder BB gun. He tries repeatedly, and through various means, to convince his parents that he should have one, but they don't appear to budge. He even pleads his case to Miss Shields, his teacher, who utters the same words he keeps hearing from mom and dad... "you'll shoot your eye out!" Nonetheless, Ralphie persists.

The show will run November 18 - December 11th, and it includes all of the laugh out loud elements that you love from the movie. Tickets are on sale now at the button below for performances on Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2:00 p.m. Reserved seats are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors 62+, and $15 for children 17 and under. Balcony tickets are $18 for adults and $9 for children. Flex Pass specials and group rates are available. Box Office (530) 666-9617 / 340 Second Street, hours are: Tuesday - Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

School Outreach Program Update:

Students in Esparto Flying High with Fun!

Our School Outreach Program in Esparto had their first performance of the year this past week. Jeff Teague, our instructor onsite, was overjoyed at how successful the performance was.

See those kites? Each student made their own as part of a project led by Mr. Jeff. These kids are so lucky to have him as a teacher!

We are very fortunate to have our School Outreach Program. Serving children and families in the greater Woodland and Esparto areas of Yolo County continues to be so rewarding!
