Crap, this post is a little late, but there’s still a couple of performances left. Sorry Brian.

Brian Lewis is also currently in a play, cast as the “Old Man” (AKA the Father) in The Christmas Story at Tacoma Little Theatre. It has about 2 more weeks left, with an Actor’s benefit Show on Dec 23rd. The Volcano had this to say:

“The bulk of the show is built on the performances of kids, which is a difficult thing to manage. …The kids have some help, in the form of Brian Lewis, who absolutely aces the role of The Old Man, Ralphie’s father. A man hounded by ravenous neighbor dogs, put upon by furnace clogs, and absurdly excited by any validation of his life, most notably in the form of the leg-shaped lamp that graces the poster and program cover, Lewis wields facial expressions, slapstick flailing and a litany of invented profanities to great comic effect.”

The Christmas Story is a family friendly production that offers a new experience to the holiday favorite. Admit it, your probably going to the movie sometime this season anyway. Why not support a local theatre and try out a live stage version starring members of the Tacoma community, including costar of The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, Brian Lewis.

A Christmas Story by Jean Shepherd

It’s 1940, in the town of Hohman, Indiana.     Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants one thing for Christmas — an official Red Ryder BB rifle with a compass in the stock.  Everyone tells him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.”  Between the bully at school and the Old Man’s leg lamp — Ralphie is having a tough Christmas this year.

For all ages – note the famous “ Fuuuudge” joke.
