A Christmas Story Dinner Show

Relive the classic tale of Ralphie and pair it with a delicious dinner to create some brand new, heartwarming traditions in the Ozarks. 

About the Show

Playing at the homestead's Playhouse Theatre, this classic play is sure to delight all ages. Remaining true to its movie origin, the play follows the life of young 9-year-old Ralphie, who is on one mission for the holiday season - to get a shiny new Red Ryder BB gun on Christmas day. However, each time he mentions his request, the adults around him answer with a scathing, 'You'll shoot your eye out, kid!'. Watch as Ralphie navigates the highs and lows of Christmas and get into the Christmas spirit alongside him during this fantastic presentation. 

The play also features all of the beloved scenes that make the movie so hilarious. Watch on as Ralphie gets his tongue stuck to the flagpole, tees off with the school bully, and wears the famous bunny suit. Of course, it wouldn't be the Christmas Story without the infamous leg lamp! As each scene comes to the stage, the audience is sure to delight in all of the heartwarming hilarity that makes it such a special Christmas show. 

About the Meal

It wouldn't be a dinner show without a meal, and this holiday spread is sure to satisfy. It features glazed ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, hot rolls, and more! Top it all off with a sweet piece of apple pie. 

About Shepherd of the Hills Historic Homestead

The Ozark Mountains provide some of Missouri and Arkansas' most breathtaking scenery. The location immediately became an inspiration to many creative minds who visited, thanks to its expansive forests and beautiful rivers. Harold Bell Wright was one of these people, and he was so taken with the place that he wrote a novel called Shepherd of the Hills based on what he observed. Guests can marvel at the magnificent Ozark Mountains and experience what Harold Bell Wright saw and fell in love with in the early 1900s with Inspiration Tower and the other attractions at Shepherd of the Hills.
