SPRING VALLEY – If you haven’t seen the Spring Valley Stagehands production of “A Christmas Story” yet, you’re in luck: Four shows remain and you don’t want to miss out. Bring the entire family for a fun and festive holiday show.

Directed by Liz Erickson and Mary Anderson, “A Christmas Story” is based on the motion picture from 1983, which is based on the book “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash” by Jean Shepherd. A classic Christmas tale that dominates TVs around the country during the holiday season, the Stagehands do an excellent job of bringing this iconic story to life.

Nostalgia rings throughout the production and the story comes alive thanks to superb acting and just the right amount of comedic spark. Infamous scenes become real onstage, such as the Christmas turkey fiasco, the tire-changing incident, the Christmas essay theme, the bully getting his butt whooped, the pink bunny pajama scene and of course, Ralphie receiving his beloved Red Ryder carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle with compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.

Bigger city theatres have nothing on the Stagehands.

Remaining performances will be held at 7 p.m. Dec. 15, 16 and 17 and at 2 p.m. Dec. 18. Tickets are available at the door (S234 McKay Ave., Spring Valley) or online at svstagehands.org You even have a chance to buy raffle tickets to win the leg lamp.
