NCC Holiday Hours
Free Movie-of-the-Month:
A Christmas Story (1983)

closed. The Office of the Dean of Administration and
HR/Payroll will be open. If you did not schedule to take

Thursday, December 20, 6:30 p.m.
East Campus, PepsiCo Theater The seventh and final
fall offering of NCC’s
popular Movies-of-theMonth FREE Film Series
will be the classic holiday
film A Christmas Story
from 1983. This delightful film
is based on one of
author Jean Shepard’s
unforgettable childhood
reminiscences. This is the
timeless story of young
Ralphie (a perfectly-cast
Peter Billingsley), and his
tireless quest for that “Holy Grail” of Christmas presents,
a Red Ryder BB Gun.
The film features the unforgettable Darren McGavin
as young Ralphie’s curmudgeonly Dad and is narrated by
author Jean Shepard himself.
This is a film that needs to be seen and experienced
with an audience. Come get in the spirit of the season
with us, laughing, remembering, and anticipating all the
joys, disappointments, and adventures of holidays past,
present, and still-to-come. Families and children are
welcome. Gary Carlson will be your host. For additional
information, contact him at gcarlson@ncc.commnet.edu.
