Win Two Tickets to See 'A Christmas Story' at Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts Dec. 8

UPDATE: The winner will be announced at 12:30 instead of 12:00 (I forgot that today is an early release day so I'll be picking up my kids at 12:00. Also, The Dec. 7 show sold out before our tickets were pulled, so DPAC let me know the tickets are now available for the Dec. 8 show at 7 p.m. We apologize for this inconvenience.

In association with Hot Summer Nights, Broadway Series South will present the holiday classic "A Christmas Story," Dec. 7–24 in A.J.

Comment by Kathy Olson on November 20, 2010 at 7:38pm: I love the scene where Ralphie tells his Mom that he heard the bad word from his friend. Then the Mom calls the friends Mom and tells her what Ralphie said and you can hear the other Mom going after her son and he has no idea why she is mad. Ralphie's Mom just hangs up the phone! Too funny!!!
