A Christmas Story
11/29-12/23
$15 (Tickets)
Ever since I was a kid, I have loved "A Christmas Story", the hilarious movie about Ralphie's quest for his dream Christmas gift: a Red Ryder BB gun. In addition to Ralphie being told, hilariously, by everyone (even Santa himself) that he'll shoot his eye out if he gets the gun, the story involves a lamp shaped like a woman's leg, a kid getting his tongue stuck to a cold flag pole, and Ralphie's little brother unable to put his arms down because of his super puffy snow suit, to name a few of my favorite moments. This year, I am so excited to see "A Christmas Story" performed on the stage! I hope no one shoots their eye out.

Prelude to a Kiss
1/31-2/17
Starting at $20 (Tickets)
Don't tell my friends but I'm definitely a closet romantic. The type of person who soaks up cheesy Nicholas Spark's books and movies. There is definitely nothing more romantic than a story about a woman swapping bodies with an elderly man before her wedding and (...wait for it), her fiance realizing and trying to find her. Prelude to a Kiss is often seen as a metaphor for the AIDs virus which certainly adds another layer to this interesting Freaky Friday-esque romance. One that I'm definitely excited to (secretly) swoon over.

Rough Riders: a new play
4/18-4/28
$15 (Tickets)
I'm not a big theatre person, but something about the process behind bringing productions from script to stage interests me. The closing production of the Second Stage season is "Rough Writers: A New Play Fest," that will bring playwrights and their developing theatrical works to an audience. Getting to know the impetus behind productions by speaking with the playwrights themselves should be a cool new way to appreciate theatre.
