Ron Robinson TheaterA little music, a lot of heart, and the magic of Jim Henson make Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas a holiday treasure worth sharing.
In this charming musical special, Emmet and his hardworking mother each hope to find a way to give the other a special Christmas gift, even though money is tight. Their plans lead them into a friendly musical competition, where community, creativity, and generosity matter far more than winning. Featuring the warmth, humor, and unforgettable character work that made Jim Henson's creations beloved across generations, this gentle story is a wonderful reminder that the best gifts are often the ones we give with love. Bring the family and introduce a new generation to this nostalgic holiday favorite—or revisit a classic from your own childhood—on the big screen. FREE admission!
