Then, when the movie ends, Zack Ward takes the stage for an intimate and entertaining conversation about his time making A Christmas Story, what it was like becoming one of the most recognizable characters in the film, behind-the-scenes memories, favorite moments from the set and how this beloved holiday movie became a Christmas tradition for generations of fans.
