SUMMARY:A CHRISTMAS STORY: AUDITIONS
DESCRIPTION:WHO: Is being a Ralphie right up your alley? Or maybe you are directing your skills towards the Dad doting on an lustful leg-lamp? We need all the actors to bring the action of this family favorite!  \nWHAT: A CHRISTMAS STORY AUDITIONS  \nWHERE: Matthews Opera House Theater 612 N. Main Street\, Spearfish \nWHEN: October 23 & 24 6:00-8:00pm \nWHY: Since boredom gets tongues stuck to poles\, make being part of this show one of your holiday goals!  \nHOW: What to expect:No experience necessary! You will be asked to read with other participants from sections of the script previously selected by the directors. All auditions will be performed as a “cold read” (seeing the script for the first time). \nAuditions are also a great time to express your interest in backstage work\, set building\, lights and all of the other necessary skills that make a show great! Stop by if you have any interest in the action “behind the scenes” and visit with the directors.  \n\nPERFORMANCES: “A Christmas Story” performances are scheduled for Friday-Sunday\, December 13-15; Tuesday\, December 17; and Friday-Sunday\, December 20-22 \n\nTHIS IS GOING TO BE ALMOST AS MAGICAL AS A LEG LAMP…\nDirected by Melita Quinonez\, the family favorite created by 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 Higbee’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. \n“A Christmas Story is still … one of the more enchanting ways to be transported to a world beyond our own. Yet it also serves to remind us how lucky we are to live a culturally rich life … and Philip Grecian’s thoughtful stage adaptation preserves the old … references.” —Plain Dealer \n“Classics bloom quickly in modern times … you don’t have to have grown up with 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his ache for an air rifle under the tree to think of A Christmas Story as a Christmas must. And [this] version is just as kindly and just as cockeyed as A Christmas Story is meant to be.” —Orlando Sentinel \n“Grecian’s script retains Shepherd’s wry\, tongue-in-cheek humor.” —Orange County Register \n
