Still looking for the perfect holiday treat? Or maybe just a well-deserved break from all the hustle and bustle? Kindling Arts has you covered this weekend with the return of its Very Special Holiday Special. This year’s installment is co-directed by Kindling’s marvelous Daniel Jones and Emma Supica (East Nashville Facebook Page: The Musical), and is based on the original concept by Jessika Malone and Daniel Carter (the creative minds behind Kindling’s Bar Fight!). Once again, audiences can look forward to a screening of The Muppet Christmas Carol, with live performances from local favorites like Supica (as Gonzo the Great), Seth Nathan Green (Nashville’s very own Kermit) and Cammie York (as Rizzo the Rat). But this year’s show also features a special “deleted scene,” featuring Miss Piggy (played by none other than Hannah Dorfman, of Amm Skellars fame). Plus, there’ll be an appearance by everyone’s favorite curmudgeons, Statler and Waldorf. Weird, whimsical and very Kindling, it’s sure to be a fun night out. But keep in mind that Kindling’s Very Special Holiday Special is intended for ages 21 and up, and not appropriate for little ones.
Dec. 18-20 at the Darkhorse Theater
4610 Charlotte Ave.
