A Christmas Story-The Musical here for the holidays with TUTS

Posted on

What would Christmas be without one of the holiday’s most favorite stories?

Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS) is doing their part to complete everyone’s holiday experience with their production of A Christmas Story-The Musical from December 8-20 at The Hobby Center.

The 1983 comedy classic, A Christmas Story, has been cleverly adapted for the stage and is part of the TUTS’ annual beloved tradition for a holiday main-stage production, which is one of the most highly anticipated shows of the season.

Included are the highlights of the pink bunny suit, a fishnet lamp and many other antics of Ralphie and his friends and family in this holiday classic.  christstory1
