Celebrate the holiday spirit at RiverPlace with a free screening of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, a heartwarming tale of community, generosity, and the magic of giving!
In a charming Jim Henson tale, Emmet and his pals form a band and enter a talent show to win Christmas money, unaware that Emmet's mom and a showy rock band are among the competitors. Emmet and his widowed ma have a lot riding on the event: they used each other's most prized possession as a means of entering the contest. He poked a hole in her washtub; and she hocked his tool chest to buy material for a new dress to wear to the show. Based on the book by Russell and Lillian Hoban.
Tickets are required for this free holiday movie. Children 13 and under must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.
