Jasper- The Polar Express will be pulling into station at the Astra Theatre once again this Christmas season. The 2004 film, based on Chris Van Allsburg’s beloved children’s book, will play on the big screen on Saturday, December 3 for a 3:00 matinee showing.

Pajamas are encouraged in an effort to fully immerse oneself into the story. So, get your favorite festive pajamas out, gather up the family, and start the Christmas season with an inspiring adventure to the North Pole. By the time you leave the theatre, you will no doubt “Believe.”
