You know the story: cheapskate Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine) is a total drag at the holidays, until he’s visited by a bunch of ghosts who turn him into an old softie who loves to share his wealth. But Charles Dickens’ classic has never been better than this one, with the full Muppet treatment! Caine and the Muppets have a chemistry that just shines, and THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL is often regarded, by Muppet aficionados, as the finest of all their films

ALL SEATS: $15.00 - in person. $15.75 - online.
A single mom, a depressed child, a drunken Santa and a city full of cynical souls, this should be the stuff of one bleak motion picture. But Miracle on 34th Street is as sweet a holiday confection as Hollywood ever produced, as a group of harried but good-hearted New Yorkers run headlong into a very real Santa Claus, who offers them hope and affection. Touching on themes of divorce, faith and even capitalism, Miracle is both candy and coal in abundance. Winner of 3 Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Edmund Gwenn's Kris Kringle.

FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER
2025 | D: JIM JARMUSCH
TOM WAITS, ADAM DRIVER, CATE BLANCHETT
Winner of the Golden Lion Best Film prize at the 2025 Venice Film Festival, FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is the eagerly-awaited new film from Jim Jarmusch. Funny, tender and astutely observed, this is an intimate exploration of the universal intricacies of family dynamics. Starring Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling, Cate Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Indya Moore and Luka Sabbat.
Told in the form of a triptych divided into chapters set in New Jersey, Dublin and Paris, each story concerns the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Blending remarkable performances from its ensemble cast with Jarmusch’s wry and idiosyncratic observations of everyday life, the iconic indie director’s latest serves as a timely reminder that you can choose your friends and your lovers, but you can’t choose your family.
