Patrick Conner / Set Designer:
Following his captivating portrayal of Victor Frankenstein in October’s hit production of FRANKENSTEIN: THE RADIO PLAY, Patrick again took on the role of Set Designer for A CHRISTMAS STORY. Patrick, the art teacher at Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School, and his husband are proprietors of Wanda’s Cafe + Bakery in Nehalem and reside in Manzanita with their two young daughters.
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!
