Oliver Arnold as Ralphie:
Oliver Finch Arnold has had a passion for drama since he could talk! He loves wolves, Zelda, playing soccer, baseball, reading, and art. This is his 2nd performance with Riverbend Players after making his debut as the Young George Bailey in the holiday classic IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. Oliver lives in Manzanita with his parents, his pup Saoirse, and his wolf Wander.
A CHRISTMAS STORY:
Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s 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 Higbee’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, a theatrical holiday treat!
