Fond du Lac Community Theatre presented our Christmas play, the classic comedy

a play in two acts by Philip Grecian.  Written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown and Bob Clark.  

"In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" by Jean Shepherd.  Based upon "A Christmas Story," 1983 Turner Entertainment Company, distributed by Warner Brothers.

 

With four performances on one weekend - three evening shows: Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 8, 9 & 10 at 7:30 P.M., and one matinee: Sunday afternoon, December 11, 2005 at 2:00 P.M. at the Goodrich Little Theatre

 

Synopsis: This old holiday favorite centered around a mischievous, bespectacled boy, Ralphie, who dreamed of getting a Red Rider BB gun for Christmas.  Everyone warned him, "You'll shoot your eye out!"  In the weeks before the big holiday, Ralphie got into all kinds of memorable situations: his friend got his tongue stuck to a cold metal surface and his father won the infamous "Leg Lamp."  Heart-warming memories and laughs abounded.

 

Setting

Place: Hohman, Indiana.  Year: 1938.
