An Evening with A Christmas Story’s Peter Billingsley at the Capitol Theatre

-

Join us for an unforgettable evening of holiday cheer and laughs as we celebrate the timeless classic, A Christmas Story, with a screening of the film followed by a live conversation and Q&A with Peter Billingsley on December 22 at the Capitol Theatre.

Tickets go on sale September 13th at 10 a.m. Tickets start at just $25 and can be purchased at CapitolTheatreWheeling.com or the venue box office. For those looking for an extra-special experience, a limited number of VIP tickets will be available which include a personal pre-show photo opportunity with Peter Billingsley himself, that can be added to the event ticket purchase.

Peter will be on a limited tour this holiday season hosting a series of screenings of A Christmas Story. The evening will include a pre-show meet and greet, screening of the 1983 film, and a moderated Q&A where Billingsley will share stories from the movie set, behind-the-scenes photos, and memories from the Christmas classic. Audience questions are encouraged, and each screening will feature a Toy for Tots fundraiser, and a leg lamp giveaway to one lucky winner.

Throughout a career spanning four decades, Peter has achieved success both in front and behind the camera producing such films as the first Iron Man, The Break-Up, Four Christmases, and directing the Vince Vaughn starrer Couples Retreat. In 2022 he co-wrote, produced, and starred in A Christmas Story Christmas for Warner Bros.

Billingsley began his acting career at the age of three, in some of the ’70s most memorable television commercials and became a pop-culture icon when he played Ralphie in A Christmas Story. Billingsley has been nominated for three Emmys, a Tony Award and is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
