News release
The Canyon Theatre Guild’s production of “A Christmas Story” is adding two more shows due to high ticket demand, the CTG announced in a news release.
Shows have been added at 2 p.m. on Sunday and 7 p.m. on Monday, the release said.
Based on the iconic 1983 movie of the same name, the play tells the story of a Midwest family Christmas in 1940. Young Ralphie Parker tries to figure out how to get his parents to buy him the Christmas present of his dreams, a Red Ryder BB Gun.
All of the classic scenes are here, including the exploding furnace, Scut Farkas, the wet tongue on a cold lamppost, the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin and the leg lamp.
“We are thrilled to be able to add shows because of the high demand for the last weekend of this show’s run,” CTG Artistic Director TimBen Boydston said in the release. “Fans of the ‘Christmas Story’ movie are really enjoying this show as well as those who have never seen it.”
The Canyon Theatre Guild’s holiday show is a Santa Clarita tradition. The guild’s
playhouse is decked out in holiday finery to greet theater goers, who are welcomed with live caroling in the lobby and the smell of hot apple cider.
“A Christmas Story” runs through Tuesday. Tickets are $24 for adults and $20 for
seniors and juniors. For showtimes or to reserve, call 661-799-2702 or visit canyontheatre.org.
