The play I went to go see was The Christmas story, based off the writings and film by Jean Shepherd. The play was held at Tennessee Performing Arts Center on the 27th of November. The film “The Christmas Story” is a classic, so I chose this play to see because it was a perfect to get me in the Christmas spirit. In hallway way before the theatre, they had displayed props from the show such as the leg lamp and the pink bunny costume. These props added excitement before the show started. As we entered the theatre, Christmas music was playing and the greeters had on Santa hats. As the play started, I soon realized the play went right along with the movie. The plot of both the movie and the play was about a man named Ralphie, who was looking back on his childhood.

During the play, Ralphie especially was talking about one of his childhood Christmas’ in the 1940s. All he wanted that year was a Red Rider BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie lived in a house with his mother, father, and “kid” brother, Randy. He persuaded his parents in every way possible to buy him a BB gun, but they gave him the same answer every time, “You’ll shoot your eye out kid!” He had two best friends named Flick and Schwartz, who thought the same about the BB gun. His teacher, Mrs. Shields, made them write book reports every week, until one week she made them write about a certain theme. Ralphie took advantage of this paper to try to even persuade Mrs. Shield about the BB gun. After all the begging, Ralphie sort of forgot about the BB gun until Christmas morning when he wakes up and finds that Santa brought him a Red Rider BB gun. He goes outside to try his new gun out and just like everyone said, he shot his eye
