SPECIAL EVENTS

Aurora Picture Show presents the Christmas Pops! Sing-A-Long Fundraiser Holiday Party and Raffle. With Henri Mazza (pictured) from Alamo Drafthouse. Thursday, December 16, at 7PM. Location: El Dorado Ballroom, 2310 Elgin Ave. Aurora Members Free, Non-Members admitted with raffle ticket purchase.

Every single year, pop stars that are trying to rekindle their career join forces with pop stars trying to make a quick buck and release Christmas albums. The Christmas pop genre is really an obscure beast, with tracks like Mariah Carey's HERE COMES SANTA CLAUS and THE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK "HAVE A FUNKY, FUNKY CHRISTMAS".

Well, this show is finally something the whole family can get behind, because we've mixed together all of the best holiday songs from pop culture, with Jessica Simpson, John Denver and the Muppets, *NSYNC, Bing Crosby and David Bowie, and so much more.

Plus, this show isn't just a sing-along!

Henri Mazza is the Chief Creative Officer at the Alamo Drafthouse and has been producing Sing-Alongs and Quote-Alongs for their theaters for over 5 years. This Christmas Pops show is always one of his favorites, and he apologizes in advance for subjecting you to the rap in the middle of the Olsen twins version of "Jingle Bells."

Special thanks to Project Row Houses for their support of this program.
