Donate a toy & catch free screening of The Polar Express
The Livingston Film Series invites you to a special screening of The Polar Express on Thursday, December 22nd at 7pm. Admission is free—but please bring a toy for someone less fortunate.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis and based on children’s author Chris Van Allsburg’s modern holiday classic of the same name, The Polar Express follows Billy (Hayden McFarland), who longs to believe in Santa Claus but finds it quite difficult to do so in the face of his family’s dogged insistence that all of it—from the North Pole, to the elves, to the man himself—is just a myth. Everything changes on Christmas Eve, when a mysterious train visits Billy in the middle of the night, promising to take him and a group of other children to the North Pole for a visit with Santa. The train’s conductor (Tom Hanks) and passengers help turn Billy’s crisis of faith into a journey of self-discovery.
The Livingston Film Series presents a wide variety of independent features, documentaries, local films, and special screenings on the second Sunday of every month in the Dulcie Theatre at the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts. Admission is always free, but donations are appreciated. Doors open at 6:30pm, with the screening set for 7pm. •
