A CHRISTMAS STORY SCENE AS A CLASS PLAY

Scenes from A CHRISTMAS STORY play performances

 

Phil Grecian authored a play based on the 1983 movie. The play captures on stage many scenes depicted in the MGM production. Local companies of players perform the play which during the holidays.  One such company has a YouTube on line captured by a member of the audience. The performance can be viewed on YouTube by clicking here .

Class groups may choose a scene, take notes on what is said/done by the actors and recreate the scene then perform it before the entire class. Most of the individual scenes are narrated by the actor who plays Ralphie as an adult so that performances require few lines to memorize.

The class narrator need not memorize his lines but simply read them as other members of the class act out a scene they have adapted from the movie A CHRISTMAS STORY.
