"...a true and heartfelt Christmas story." - Review of A Christmas Story, by Emily R. Zarevich, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

"A standout performance comes from Lauren Shepherd playing Ralphie’s well-meaning mother Mrs. Parker, whose character in this show is developed further compared to her more background presence in the film."

With thanks to local-news.ca and Emily Zarevich, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, Drury Lane's "A Christmas Story, the Musical" is portrayed with the warmth and nostalgia which was Director Danny Harvey's ultimate goal. " Danny Harvey took on this ambitious undertaking as director and brought together a legion of young local talent to perform alongside the adults."


"At the core, Drury Lane’s take on the story commits to being fun and offers a lighthearted way for the people of Burlington to reconsider priorities in our own consumerist age."
