Rankin/Bass Holiday Shorts at the Senate Theater

Get into the spirit of the season at the Senate Theater with two animated Christmas classics from Rankin/Bass productions, the studio that brought you “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”! This matinee event will be free for anyone 12 and under. Children of all ages can expect to encounter a very special—and jolly—guest who would love to hear what you want under your Christmas tree this year!

“‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” (1974 – 25 minutes) and “A Year Without a Santa Clause” (1974 – 51 minutes)

You and your family don’t want to miss these classic and original Christmas songs, the signature “animagic” style, and especially the one-of-a-kind strangeness of Heat Miser and Snow Miser, troll-like keepers of the elements.

We’re excited to share in the holiday magic with you. These two films about rediscovering the power of generosity and the joy of believing, (plus a very sensitive Santa Claus) will equally delight nostalgia seekers, animation lovers, and children of all ages.

Tickets are $6.00, Free for Children 12 and under. Free parking is available in our gated lot on Gilbert behind the theater.
