Bill Murray in “Scrooged” at the Senate Theater

Cutthroat TV executive Frank Cross doesn’t know the meaning of Christmas. Focused solely upon his personal ambitions, he is as uncaring and callous as Ebeneezer Scrooge. Only a quadruple haunting will allow him to see the error of his ways.

In the tradition of “It’s A Wonderful Life”, “Scrooged” starring Bill Murray was met by mixed to negative reviews from critics who were put off by the film’s juxtaposition of sentimentality and cynicism. But ultimately filmgoers recognized this Reagan era retelling of Dickens’ classic as a worthy addition to the Yuletide cinematic canon. At its heart it is a tale of hope, declaring joyfully that even in a world under siege by nastiness and greed the goodness in us all can always be rekindled.

Tickets are $6.00. Free parking is available in our gated lot on Gilbert behind the theater.
