The Griswold Family Christmas returns to the Capitol this December!
The Capitol Theater of Greeneville, Tennessee announces the return of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. After overwhelming demand last year, the Capitol will present two shows on December 8th at 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Tickets for the event will cost $5.00 and will be available at the door and online. The 1989 movie stars Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo as Clark and Ellen Griswold, the family who tries have to the perfect vacations and holidays only to find circumstances that get in the way.
The third film in the Vacation franchise, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation finds Clark Griswold wanting to bring his entire family together for “an old-fashioned family Christmas.” With relatives piling in and the pressure mounting, Christmas Vacation is a film that truly to brings to life the frantic time that the Christmas season can be.
Written by John Hughes and directed by Jeremiah Chechik, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation was a massive hit upon its release in December 1989. As the years have passed, Christmas Vacation has become one of the most quotable films ever made, has stood the test of time to be more than just an ’80s box office hit, and has become a bonafide Christmas and comedy classic.
Christmas Vacation will be introduced by local film writer Andy Ross, “Last year, we were overwhelmed by how many people wanted to see Christmas Vacation on our big screen. I’m so excited we can bring two shows of it this year. I’m looking forward to sharing this great Christmas comedy with everyone once again, in what may be a new tradition at the Capitol!”
