WHITE CHRISTMAS
SATURDAY DECEMBER 6 ~ 3:00PM
SUNDAY DECEMBER 7 ~ 3:00PM
Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, an all-Irving Berlin song score, classy direction by Hollywood vet Michael Curtiz (Casablanca, The Adventures of Robin Hood), VistaVision (the very first feature ever shot in that widescreen format), and ultrafestive Technicolor! Crosby and Kaye are song-and-dance men who hook up, romantically and professionally, with a “sister” act to put on a Big Show to benefit the struggling ski-resort lodge run by the beloved old retired general of their WWII Army outfit. Crosby is cool, Clooney is warm, Kaye is goofy, and Vera-Ellen is leggy. Songs include: “Sisters” (Crosby and Kaye do their own drag version, too), “Snow,” “Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep,” and more. Christmas would be unthinkable without White Christmas.

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE
TWO SHOWS!!!
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20 ~ 3:00PM
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21 ~ 3:00PM
Perhaps the most beloved American film, Frank Capra’s masterwork deserves its status as a feel-good communal event, but it is also one of the most fascinating films in the American cinema, a multilayered work of Dickensian density. Earnest do-gooder George Bailey (James Stewart) recognizes his life as wonderful and truly rich, even in its humdrum and bleak nature, only after suffering many hardships, mishaps and fateful trials. He is given encouragement through a fateful meeting with a whimsical, endearing, trainee-angel named Clarence (Henry Travers), who shows him just how bleak the world would be without him. Get out your hankies and listen for ringing bells: this is one family Christmas tradition you don’t want to miss.
