THE DARK CRYSTAL

Starting January 8

Fantasy adventure from legendary puppeteers Jim Henson and Frank Oz, groundbreaking in its use of animatronics: you’ll believe these puppets are real! In a magical world ruled by an evil race (the “Skeksis”) it falls to the elf-like Jen, a “Gelfling,” to challenge their power. The Skeksis dinner scene is a classic combination of artistry and humor. ("Ah, roast Nebrie, my favorite!")
