Chanticleer Theater | A Christmas Story - the Musical

Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants one thing for Christmas, and one thing only: An Official Red Ryder Range Model Carbine Action BB Gun. There’s only one problem: everyone else is convinced he’ll shoot his eye out! Undeterred, he begins his saga of convincing all the necessary players, from his sweet but protective Mother, to his straightlaced teacher, Miss Shields, all the way to Santa Claus himself, that he needs that gun for the protection of his loved ones, and maybe even a little cowboy glory to call his own. Filled with quirky and lovable characters, this zany, heartfelt, and nostalgic musical is as delightful as the biggest, shiniest present under the tree on Christmas morning.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, MS, Stuart got his start in bluegrass legend Lester Flatt’s band at the tender age of thirteen, and by twenty-one, he was working in the studio and on the road with Johnny Cash. Though Stuart built his early reputation backing up country royalty, it wasn’t long before Nashville recognized him as a star in his own right, and over the course of forty-plus years as a solo artist, he would go on to release more than twenty major label albums, scoring platinum sales, hit singles, and just about every honor the industry could bestow along the way. His first new album in five years, Altitude, explores a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters, misfits and angels, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers.

American Midwest Ballet Presents: Cinderella

American Midwest Ballet’s world premiere of Cinderella is a magical new full-length story ballet! It’s an uplifting rendition of a story beloved across generations and cultures: an affirmation that good things come in due season. Choreographer Erika Overturff summons all the artistry of classical ballet – with its brilliant dancing, spectacular settings, and rich costuming – to whirl the heroine on a journey that is both intimate and grand.
