The Playhouse District Association is getting in on the holiday spirit with a free (that is, $0) screening of The Polar Express, the film adaptation of the beloved children’s Christmas story; the movie is known mostly for making people uncomfortable. In addition to a free show, attendees will be feted with holiday treats and surprises (perhaps Santa will make an appearance?), as well as a concert afterward, in the Vroman’s courtyard, featuring St. Lucy’s Big Christmas Band.
