The only thing little Ralph Parker hopes to find under the tree is a Daisy Brand Red Ryder BB rifle. He doesn’t simply want it, he’s consumed with an aching desire for it. A deceptively dangerous playground dare, an unforgettable visit with a department store Santa and a bizarre, gaudy radio contest prize are among the vivid childhood memories told with warmth and a sleigh-load of laughs. Bring the whole family for a nostalgic, heartwarming kid’s-eye-view of the holidays.
 | Steve's Take: The movie adaptation of Shepherd's story has become a holiday cult classic, and audiences of all ages are going to fall in love with this new stage adaptation, with a full cast of characters and delicious quirky humor. |
