Petrella Returns to Hollywood Theater for 'A Christmas Story'

Ian Petrella, who played Randy Parker in the movie "A Christmas Story," will make an appearance tonight and tomorrow.

Actor Ian Petralla will return to Dormont's Hollywood Theater this weekend to host two special viewings of "A Christmas Story."

At 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2, Hollywood Theater will show the 1983 Christmas classic, and Petrella—who played Randy Parker in the film—will discuss the film at both showings.

Petrella visited Hollywood Theater for a similar event last year. During that event, Mayor Tom Lloyd presented him with an honorary Key to Dormont and invited him to visit again, which Petrella said he'd like to do. To read about last year's event, click here.
