TCT "specials" are guest appearances, educational opportunities and other events that aren't a part of our regular season.

Tupelo Community Theatre will offer two day-time performances of A Christmas Story on Wednesday, December 7^th at 9 a.m. and Noon. 

Ticket prices will be $4 for everyone attending. 

This production is for third grade or higher due to the length of the production. 

Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the midwest in the 1940s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself, at Goldblatt's Department Store. The consistent response: "You'll shoot your eye out." All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family's temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys' experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie's father winning a lamp shaped like a woman's leg in a net stocking; Ralphie's fantasy scenarios and more.

If you would like your school to attend please call the TCT office at 844-1935 beginning Monday, November 7^th at Noon.   

Payment is due the day of the performance.

High-caliber arts education experiences such as these would not be possible without the generous support of sponsors. TCT is indebted to B and B Concrete, Inc., Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi, South Arts, The Mississipp Arts Commission, The National Endowment for the Arts, and the Lyric Krewe.  Thanks to these sponsors, thousands of area children, teachers, and community members will be inspired, educated, and entertained.
