"A Christmas Story"- will be performed by The Foothill Theatre Company at the Nevada Theatre in Nevada City. Adapted by Philip Grecian from the classic film and the book "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" by Jean Shepard. "You'll shoot your eye out!"

Set more than a half a century ago in a more innocent America, this sweet and nostalgic tale is riotously funny throughout.
