Coralville Marriot Hotel
Follow
the
adventures (or misadventures) of Ralphie and his kid brother Randy as
Ralphie pursues his dream of owning a legendary official Red Ryder
200-shot Carbine Action Range Model Air Rifle with a compass and this
thing which tells time built right into the stock, while struggling
against the classic mother BB gun block: "You'll shoot your eye out!"
Sure
to be a sell-out, this off-kilter adaptation of the classic
holiday film ("You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!") is in intensive rehearsal
under the direction of Rick Crooks and Rod McCrea. The cast of
veterans and newcomers is exceeding already high expectations, and
award-winning set designer Michael Blake is knocking himself out to
take full advantage of the Marriott Exhibit Hall. (Just wait
'till you
see this set! We don't know how he keeps topping himself!)
Tickets
available November 12 at the Coralville Recreation Center,
J. Frahm Music in Iowa City, and by calling 248-1750. $17 for
Adults,
$14 for Students and Seniors.
Good
not-too-sappy fun for the whole family!
