Kids Film Series: The Muppet Christmas Carol on Saturday, Dec. 9 at 10 a.m.
NTPAC’s state-of-the-art theater will screen The Muppet Christmas Carol. The Muppets’ rendition of Dickens’ classic tale puts a unique twist on that fateful Christmas Eve, when Scrooge, played by Michael Caine, is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Together with kind, humble Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog) and his family, the spirits open Scrooge’s eyes – and his heart – to the true meaning of Christmas.
General admission tickets are $5 and can be purchased at NewTampaArtsCenter.org/Tickets.
