Theatre Workshop of Nantucket Announces Auditions for Young Actors for this Holiday Season's production of
A Christmas Story — the heartwarming and hilarious stage adaptation of the beloved film that has become a festive favorite for generations. Set in the snowy Midwest of the 1940s, this charming tale follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker and his one Christmas wish: a genuine Red Ryder BB gun. But no matter who he asks—his mom, his teacher, or even Santa himself—the answer is always the same: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
Seeking boys and girls, approximate ages 10-14, who can portray young teenagers and preteens
