Join us in the Miller Auditorium at Goshen Theater on November 14th, for our FREE MOVIE NIGHT showing of “Nightmare Before Christmas” at 7PM!

The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown’s beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the “real world.” When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life — he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.

Celebrate the season — and a year of incredible music — with award-winning singer-songwriter Abbie Thomas (and her band, The Crazy Hearts) alongside award-winning alternative folk band Shiny Shiny Black for a one-night-only Holiday Homecoming concert at the historic Goshen Theater on November 15! Just two weeks after the 2025 Josie Music Awards at the Grand Ole Opry — where Naptone winners Shiny Shiny Black have earned their first two JMA nominations, pianist Simon Kauffman Hurst (who plays in both bands) has received his first major nomination for Piano Player of the Year, and Abbie Thomas has earned 15 JMA nominations, a win at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards, and a first-round Grammy consideration — the artists will bring the party home to Goshen to celebrate in their hometown where the music has been created. The evening will feature full sets from each band, with songs from both artists’ brand-new holiday EPs – including classic holiday covers – alongside their award-nominated originals, blending soul, jazz, blues, alternative folk, and thoughtful songwriting into a festive, heartfelt celebration of music and community.

Join us in the Miller Auditorium at Goshen Theater on November 29th, for our FREE MOVIE NIGHT showing of “Muppets Christmas Carol” at 2PM!

The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets — Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear and Sam the Eagle — weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits of three Christmases — past, present and future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways, but the miserable old man seems to be past any hope of redemption and happiness.
