MOVIES UNDER THE STARS: The Muppet Movie

Join Ijams and Central Cinema on August 30 for a classic film of fun, adventure, and friendships as we bring you The Muppet Movie (1979).

After Kermit the Frog decides to pursue a movie career, he starts his cross-country trip from Florida to California. Along the way, he meets and befriends Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and rock musicians Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.

However, Hopper refuses to relent and pursues Kermit and his companions to a final showdown.
