Hilarity Ensues at Bank Theatre

LEAMINGTON — The Bank Theatre presents A Christmas Story this weekend and next with rehearsals ongoing for a few weeks.

The Sun was invited to rehearsal on Saturday, November 27 and several classic scenes unfolded on the stage.

In the above photo, Ralphie (played by Max Wilkinson) is dismayed by the pink bunny suit given to him by his Aunt Clara, while mom (Linda Collard), Randy (Taylor Bartel) and The Old Man (Les McDonald) look on in amusement.

Above is the famous flat tire scene where Ralphie utters that famously forbidden word as The Old Man can’t believe his ears.

In the photo above, the classic schoolyard scene as Flick (Logan Quiring) gets his tongue stuck on the flagpole.

The play is narrated by Clinton Anderson and stars a bevy of talented local actors.

The play runs Thursday to Saturday this week at 7:30 pm with a Sunday matinee at 2:30 p.m., followed by identical showtimes next week, December 9 through 12.
