Schenectady Civic Players are  pleased to announce that royalties have been 
approved for Jean Shepherd’s A  Christmas Story  adapted by Philip Grecian!  
Auditions will take place on Tuesday, September 11 and Thursday,  September 13 
at the Playhouse, 12 S. Church St., Schenectady, NY  12305.   
Please  note:  Registration for children’s  auditions begins at 6:30 p.m.,

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 Goldblatt'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  favorite.
