MEMBERS-ONLY SCREENING

A wounded reindeer and a precocious eight-year-old girl form an everlasting bond in this tender holiday drama about true devotion and friendship. Jessica Riggs (Rebecca Harrell) plays an angel in her school pageant…but she becomes a real guardian angel when she finds an injured reindeer in the forest. Convinced that the deer is Santa’s very own Prancer, Jessica vows to nurse him back to health and return him safely home, an act of kindness that brings wonderful changes to the lives of those around her, including her father (Sam Elliott), their unusual neighbor (Cloris Leachman), a crotchety veterinarian (Abe Vigoda), a department store Santa (Michael Constantine), and the people of the town.

The Sunday, December 6 screening of PRANCER is open to Friends of The Ross members ONLY as part of this year’s Friends Holiday Party!
