Screens for Teens: "The Muppet Christmas Carol"

On Sunday, Dec. 4, join Harvard Art Museums as they close their Screens for Teens series with this family-friendly film, just in time for the holiday season. ’Tis the season for love, laughter and one of the most cherished stories of all time. Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and all the hilarious Muppets in "The Muppet Christmas Carol," a merry, magical version of Charles Dickens’s classic tale. Michael Caine gives a performance that’s anything but “Bah, humbug!” as greedy, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge. One fateful Christmas Eve, Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Together with kind, humble Bob Cratchit (Kermit the Frog) and his family, these spirits open Scrooge’s eyes—and his heart—to the true meaning of Christmas.

Admission is free and seating is first come, first served. The screening will take place in Menschel Hall. Doors will open at 1:30pm. Please see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museums. The Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors. For anyone requiring accessibility accommodations for their programs, please contact the museums at am_register@harvard.edu at least 48 hours in advance.

This series of contemporary and classic films is specially curated for teenagers in and around Cambridge. The selection, including both short and feature-length films, is meant to provide teens with an opportunity to watch work focused explicitly on their experiences. Covering a range of topics, emotions and nuances, these free films—depending on length and scope—will be followed by conversation with faculty from the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School.
