Celebrate with a holiday musical in New Hampshire

Nov. 17: ‘A Christmas Story: The Musical’ at Claremont Opera House

River Theater Company of Charlestown is bringing the New Hampshire premiere of A Christmas Story: The Musical to the Claremont Opera House at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 17, Saturday, Nov. 18 and at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 19 at 58 Opera House Square in Claremont.

The Broadway hit, with music by Oscar and Tony-winning songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, and book by Joseph Robinette, is based on the classic comedy film of the same name.

It follows the quest of 9-year-old Ralphie Parker for the Christmas gift of his dreams, an Official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot Range Model air rifle. Rebuffed at every turn, Ralphie plots numerous schemes to achieve his goal.

For advance tickets, go to  www.rivertheater.org, call the Claremont Opera House Box Office 603-542-4433, or visit one of their community ticket outlets Jiffy Mart in Charlestown, N.H., Marro Home Center in Claremont, N.H., Joanie Joan’s Baked Goods Co. in Walpole, N.H., or the Village Square Booksellers in Bellows Falls, Vt. Tickets will also be available at the door. Ticket prices are: adults $15, children and seniors $13.

The group is always looking for volunteers who love theater and community events but don’t want to appear on stage. There are a lot of opportunities to get involved—set construction, props, costumes, production assistants, and advertising.
