STG staging ‘A Christmas Story’

The box office is open for Southside Theatre Guild’s production of “A Christmas Story.”

The play focuses on Ralphie’s longoing for a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas and all of the mad-cap holiday adventures he and his family have in the days leading up to Christmas. All of the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkus, the school bully; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; the fathers’ winning leg lamp; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.

The theater reports that there has been a lot of interest in the show and encourages those interested in attending to reserve their tickets early. Perfomances will run at 8 p.m., Thursdays-Saturdays, Dec. 2-5 and 9-11 with special matinees at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students. Phone 770-969-0956 or visit www.stgplays.com for more information.
