the vocal strength from the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir. Details here.

“A Muppet Christmas Carol”
Dec. 18-19
Artcraft Theatre
If you can handle just one more version
of the familiar Dickens story, consider a trip to the Artcraft Theatre in Franklin. The neighborhood theater offers a way
to introduce the kids in your life to a time when movie theaters played one film at a time, when the popcorn was fresh, and
when neighbors greeted neighbors in the lobby.
If you haven’t seen the Muppet version
of the story, be assured you don’t have to lower your expectations. The film remains fresh and funny—even if the
visiting spirits aren’t as engaging as Kermit’s Bob Cratchit or Fozzie Bear’s Fezziwig. Details here.
