A Christmas Story The Musical
December 3-5, 10-12, 2026
You’ll shoot your eye out!
Unwrap a holiday classic, just like it was the first time. Adapted from the original movie by the composers of La La Land, The Greatest Showman, and, yes, Dear Evan Hansen, this stage musical delighted Clear Space audiences years ago – and is back for a second helping. Ralphie’s got one Christmas wish: a Red Ryder BB gun with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time. But, with a dreaded double-dog dare, a bunny suit, a Cracker Jack prize, and a very grumpy Santa, will he make it til December 25? Relive all the nostalgic holiday fun of the movie… with some new laughs, a big heart, and just the right amount of leg lamp glow to remind you that even if they’re wildly imperfect, our families are who make the holidays special.
