Family Holiday Events at San Juan Community Theatre

San Juan Community Theatre celebrates the season with presentations of two holiday classics and a family-friendly opera on the big screen in December.

On Sunday, December 20 at 2:00 p.m., the sing-along version of Disney’s Frozen will have kids of all ages humming “Let it go, let it go…” throughout the holidays. The animated hit features fearless optimist Anna setting off on an epic journey to find her sister Else, whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter.

The winter theme continues on Monday, December 21 at 7:00 p.m., with The Nutcracker, presented by Bolshoi Ballet Only in Cinemas. The ballet encore (recorded live in December 2014) has a unique and beautiful sense of romance and philosophy, danced by the heroic Denis Rodkin as the courageous Prince and the magical Anna Nikulina as Marie.

On Sunday, December 27 at 2:00 p.m., The Met: Live in HD celebrates its tenth anniversary season, with the encore screening of Mozart’s The Magic Flute—the groundbreaking presentation that launched the series to theaters around the world. Adults and children alike were enchanted (and will be again) by the whimsical humor and breathtaking puppetry of Julie Taymor’s hit production, presented in a shortened English-language version.

Free holiday treats and drinks will be available at each event.

Tickets for Frozen are $3 for students and $5 for adults. Admission to The Nutcracker and The Magic Flute is $10 for students and $20 for adults for each event. Tickets are available on-line at www.sjctheatre.org or via the SJCT Box Office (378-3210).
