RE: Christmas Movie Series

TOCCOA, GA,  November 20, 2020 – One of the most iconic holiday movies of all time, A Christmas Story, will kick off our Christmas Movie Series on Thursday, December 3rd with a 10am & 7pm showing at the Historic Ritz Theatre.

Based on the humorous writings of author Jean Shepherd, this beloved holiday movie follows the wintry exploits of youngster Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley), who spends most of his time dodging a bully (Zack Ward) and dreaming of his ideal Christmas gift, a "Red Ryder air rifle." Frequently at odds with his cranky dad (Darren McGavin) but comforted by his doting mother (Melinda Dillon), Ralphie struggles to make it to Christmas Day with his glasses and his hopes intact. The movie is rated PG with a run-time of 1hr 34 minutes.

Because of social distancing guidelines, each show time will be limited to the first 150 guests. Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the theatre and face masks are encouraged. The theatre will be cleaned and disinfected between each showing.

As always, tickets and concessions are just $1 each and we are cash only. If you have any questions please contact Ritz Theatre General Manager Tami Mayhugh at 706-244-0039 or tmayhugh@cityoftocccoa.com.
