SCROOGED Screenings on Friday, December 20 and Friday, December 28. Both screenings at 7:00pm.In this modern take on Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” Frank Cross (Bill Murray) is a wildly success- ful television executive whose cold ambition and curmudgeonly nature has driven away the love of his life, Claire Phillips (Karen Al- len). Cross will stoop to unheard of levels to increase his network’s ratings - even if it means mounting outrageous programs to retain an audience. But after firing a staff member, Eliot Loudermilk (Bob- cat Goldthwait), on Christmas Eve, Frank is visited by a series of ghosts who give him a chance to re-evaluate his actions and right the wrongs of his past.
