The Old Theater moves their ‘Friday Flick’ outside to the Red Rooster. The Old Theater presents Scrooged Friday, December 11, at 6:0p.

Scrooged is a modern retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol.

A few days before Christmas Frank Cross (Bill Murray), a cynical, selfish television network executive, tries to stage a live version of A Christmas Carol.

His greed catches up with him one night when he is haunted by four ghosts: his old boss, a rough cigar-smoking taxi driver, an angelic but brutal pink fairy, and the dark Ghost of Christmas Future. All give Cross a look at the bleak reality his choices have created for those around him and himself.

Scrooged remains true to the original message of Dickens’ classic while giving a comedic spin and commenting on the over commercialization of the holiday season.

Gates open at 5:30, movie starts 6:00p. The Red Rooster is behind The Silos on Highway 55 in Oriental. Bring your chair or park your golf cart. Admission by donation and includes FREE popcorn. There’s a 50/50 raffle to benefit the Old Theater. Rain date is Dec. 18.

The Silos is cooking up Brats & Burgers and maybe Chili too. Regular menu available for take-out via ChowNow app. Cash bar available, including warm drinks. No outside food or beverages, please.

All proceeds from ticket donations and the 50/50 raffle will go to benefit the Old Theater, a registered 501©(3) non-profit organization, located at 609 Broad Street in Oriental, NC.
