All they need now is someone to produce their show! But when no one in town will even meet with them, it's up to Kermit to believe hard enough for all his fiends that the show WILL go on!

KING KONG (1933)
Dir. Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack, 1933.
Cast: Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, Bruce Cabot. 1 hr 44 min. NR
A film ahead of hits time, King Kong defied the technological limitations of the 1930s. Special effects pioneer Willis O'Brien's revolutionary stop-motion animation was not only technically brilliant but also highly imaginative. With equal parts adventure, horror and old-fashioned romance, King Kong is a milestone of moviemaking that has endured for more than seven decades.
Movie tickets are $7 per person. For tickets and more information, visit warnertheatre.org or call the Box Office at 860-489-7180.
