Kindling Holiday Special - Muppet Christmas 2025 (1920 x 1080 px).png
Kindling's Very Special Holiday Special
featuring The Muppet Christmas Carol


Thursday-Saturday, December 18-20 at 8PM

Darkhorse Theatre (4610 Charlotte Ave)​​​​​​

​

Back by popular demand! Kindling‘s Very Special Holiday Special, a cherished annual tradition, returns with the third (and possibly final!) screening of the cult classic The Muppet Christmas Carol with our signature Kindling twist. Building on the hysterical original concept from Jessika Malone & Daniel Carter (Bar Fight, Monsterball), dynamic duo Emma Supica & Daniel Jones team up to add exciting new live performances to accompany the iconic film. Throughout the evening, some of our most beloved local actors pay homage to our favorite Muppets, including performances by Emma Supica (embodying the singular Gonzo the Great), Cammie York (inspired by Rizzo the Rat), Seth Nathan Green (Nashville's very own loveable Kermit), Hannah Dorfman (embodying the diva herself, Miss Piggy), and other special surprise guests.

 

Take a breather from the holiday madness to enjoy this hilarious and heartwarming evening, including the nostalgic journey of Scrooge’s hauntings with grand Muppet musical numbers. It's true: wherever you find love, it feels like Christmas!

​

Please note: this event is 21+. The Muppets are for everyone, but this Holiday Special is for the adults.
