We’re still in denial that A Christmas Story celebrates its 40th anniversary this year because it was just yesterday that we were kids in PJs watching the 24-hour marathon of it on TV…but we’ll accept that the movie came out in 1983 if it means getting to talk to Ralphie in person! Yes, you read that right. 

The newly formed Idaho Film Society asked Peter Billingsley if he’d be interested in being part of an exclusive screening of his beloved classic at Boise’s historic Egyptian Theater. Not only did he say “yes,” he wants to share all the behind-the-scenes stories about what it was like being on set when he was just 11 years old. Mark Johnson will be hosting a Q&A session during the event.

At $25 a pop, they expect this screening to sell out quickly and it’s a ticket that you can feel good about buying. The proceeds from this screening will benefit the Idaho Film Society. If you’ve been wondering what’s been going on inside the old Greyhound Station in Downtown Boise, that building has become the hub for the new non-profit whose mission is to support those involved in Boise’s quickly growing film scene. 

If you want to buy a ticket before they’re gone, you can grab them HERE. The event starts at 6:30 p.m.
