WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION
By Agatha Christie

His only hope for acquittal is the testimony of his wife, but his airtight alibi shatters when she reveals some shocking secrets of her own…

By Philip Grecian. Based on the motion picture A Christmas Story, written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown and Bob Clark.

“You’ll shoot your eye out!” All your favorite elements from the beloved 1983 film are included in this stage version of the story about a nine-year-old boy growing up in Holoman, Indiana in the mid 1930s. Already a holiday classic, Jean Shepherd’s memoirs follow Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a “Genuine Red Ryder 200 Shot, Carbine Action Range Model Air Rifle” under the Christmas tree.
