Gather the whole family and come to The Aurora Theatre for a very special holiday experience. From a beautifully decorated lobby inspired by a Hollywood movie set to candy cane popcorn, your visit will truly get everyone in the holiday spirit. This year, the schedule of FREE movies is bigger and better than ever!
The "Hollywood Holidays" experience begins the moments guests arrive at the theatre. As they enter the lobby, they will be surrounded by Hollywood magic with exhibits featuring original props, costumes, and more from Universal's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." On loan from a local collector, the exhibits re-create scenes from the movie and are the perfect background for a holiday photo. Each year, the exhibits are changed to highlight both different scenes from the movie, but also new items added to the collection. The collection is noted as being the second largest in the country.
The schedule is as follows with doors opening at 10am; movies shown at 11am.
Friday, November 23 - A Prince for Christmas
Saturday, November 24 - Elf
Sunday, November 25 - Miracle on 34th Street
Saturday, December 1 - The Star
Sunday, December 2 - The Man Who Invented Christmas
Saturday, December 8 - Home Alone (This is also "Grinch Day" - meet the collector, costumed characters, and, weather permitting, an appearance on the Grinche's sleigh, one of two used in the movie.)
Saturday, December 15 - A Christmas Story (11am) and Christmas Vacation (9pm) following East Aurora's "Carolcade."
Sunday, December 16 - A Christmas Carol
Saturday, December 22 - The Polar Express
Sunday, December 23 - It's A Wonderful Life
In the spirit of giving, The Aurora Theatre has invited Kaely's Kindness and Toys for Tots to be recipients of the celebration. Visitors are asked to support both with either a financial donation or a new, unwrapped toy.
