A Christmas Story

Holiday film on the big screen

The Alcazar screens A Christmas Story, the holiday comedy based on Jean Shepherd's writing. Set in the 1940s, it follows young Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) as he dodges the neighborhood bully and tries to convince his parents, his teacher and Santa that a Red Ryder BB gun is the perfect Christmas present. Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon play his parents.

The film is rated PG and runs 1 hour 33 minutes, making it an easy Sunday-afternoon outing for families. Tickets are $10, or $7 for seniors and students.
