“You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out!”

One boy. One holiday wish. And a world that seems to be conspiring to make certain it doesn’t come true. Prairie Players Civic Theatre kicks off the holiday season by presenting A Christmas Story: The Musical at the Orpheum Theatre, Galesburg.

Performance Dates: Friday, Nov. 21-Saturday, Nov. 22 at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 23 at 3 p.m.

This classic holiday tale centers on a mischievous, bespectacled boy, Ralphie, who dreams of getting an Official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle BB-gun for Christmas. In the weeks before the big holiday, Ralphie, his friends and his family get into all kinds of situations — including run-ins with a bully with “yellow eyes,” a tongue stuck to a flag pole, a bar of soap in the mouth, a garish leg lamp, a major award, and a Chinese Christmas dinner. Filled with nostalgia and quirky childhood innocence, this production is a heartwarming event for the entire family.

TICKET PRICES
MAIN FLOOR/BALCONY: $16 for Adults $10 for Students (including college/university students with I.D.)
MEZZANINE: $20 for Adults and Students

To purchase tickets, stop by or the call the Orpheum Theatre Box Office – 309-342-2299.

Dear Knox Community,

After a terrific turnout for the first Knox 101: Brown Bag Lunch Series last month, we’re pleased to announce the second installment of this new monthly series:

He will be joined by Megan Scott, associate vice president and chief communications officer, who will discuss the new Knox website and Admission publications, as well as the College’s new marketing messaging.

Please join us on Monday, November 17 at noon in Ferris Lounge.

The Knox 101: Brown Bag Lunch series is sponsored by the President’s Council and Human Resources. Bring your lunch and join in this discussion to learn more about these important campus initiatives.
