This holiday season, join Ralphie Parker on his hilarious quest for the perfect Christmas gift! Based on the beloved 1983 film, A Christmas Story the Musical brings laughter, nostalgia, and holiday cheer to life with unforgettable moments like the infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare gone wrong. From the songwriting team behind Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land, and The Greatest Showman, this delightful holiday musical is a joyous celebration of Christmas, family, and childhood dreams!

Constellation Stage & Screen presents “An Act of God,” on stage December 18-30 at the Waldron Firebay.

Looking for an unholy way to spend the holidays? Skip the silent nights and join us for An Act of God, a wickedly funny comedy where God, with the help of angels Michael and Gabriel, delivers a brand-new set of commandments for the modern world. From the 13-time Emmy-winning head writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, this irreverent show answers life’s biggest questions with divine wit, sass, and plenty of surprises. An Act of God is blasphemous, inspiring, and guaranteed to leave you laughing all the way through the holidays! Recommended for mature audiences.
