Good Samaritan hosts FREE showing of Elf on Nov. 25

KEARNEY–CHI Health Good Samaritan is kicking off the Christmas season with a FREE showing of the beloved family-friendly comedy Elf on Tuesday, Nov. 25 at Kearney’s World Theatre. The community is invited to attend the annual appreciation event. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the show starting at 7 p.m. To secure a seat, movie-goers should arrive early as seating is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. A full house is anticipated. 

“Our mission calls us to improve the health of those we serve, including nurturing our community’s spirit. What better way to share in the joy and wonder of the season than by laughing together,” says Curt Coleman, president, Good Samaritan. “It’s our way of thanking our community for their support while spreading Christmas cheer!”  

Good Samaritan staff will distribute complimentary candy canes to the crowd before the show. Concessions will also be available for purchase.

Last year, the hospital brought the community together for the free community screening of Home Alone. The showing filled every seat in the theater.

Elf, a classic PG-rated Christmas comedy, is the earnest tale of a young orphan child, Buddy, who mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag and is transported back to the North Pole to be raised as an elf. Years later Buddy learns he is not really an elf and goes on a journey to New York City to find his true identity.
