Holiday Special: A Christmas Story

Adapted by Phillip Grecian from the motion picture by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, and Bob Clark.

Nashville's Newest Holiday Tradition! Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his unflappable campaign to get Santa (or anyone else) to give him a "legendary official Red Rider carbine-action 200 shot range-model air rifle."

Preview Dates: Thurs, 11/29 and Fri, 11/30
