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 in this laugh-out-loud Holiday classic we all remember from the motion picture of the same name. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee's Department Store. The consistent response: "You'll shoot your eye out!" All the elements from the beloved movie are here and we’re bringing them onstage at The Merc in Reader’s Theater style entertainment. Join us for a nostalgic reading of this hilarious production.

Murder and menace are served up with a healthy helping of pasta and laughter during Breaking Legs, the first Merc Playhouse show of 2020! The worlds of the Mafia and the Theatre clash hilariously when a professorial playwright seeks funding for his new play from the family of a former student - a family that turns out to be minor Mafia godfathers. The fact that the lusty, unwed daughter of the house falls in love with the playwright only complicates things further, as the playwright has to decide what "offers" he truly "can't refuse"!
