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 for Christmas.

What would happen if the stuff of legends appeared in our contemporary society?

The play also shows that teenage angst is universal and timeless.

Young orphan James Henry Trotter has no idea the adventure that awaits him when he encounters a magical peach.
