Along the way he deals with schoolyard bullies, a strict teacher and well-meaning but skeptical parents, alongside his quirky family and friends. The show runs four weekends with Friday and Saturday evening performances at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets for children 12 and under are discounted. The production is based on the Warner Bros. film and Jean Shepherd's stories. ## Similar picks in Seattle - [A Christmas Carol, The Musical – Edmonds Driftwood Players](https://grassyknees.com/seattle/activities/a-christmas-carol-the-musical-edmonds-driftwood-players--listing-a08af971323ece746bbbd8cc) — Nov 20 – Dec 19 · Wade James Theatre, Edmonds · All ages · From $28 · checked Oct 24.
