“Resplendent!”

Doctor Parnassus’ extraordinary Imaginarium is a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom.

Fish Tank

Fish Tank

“A film that brilliantly and sensitively buzzes with life and offers its very own take on our world and our city. It delivers in spades attitude, humour, sadness, love, anger and hope.”
Time Out London

“Gripping! A striking film with vivid performances.”
Hollywood Reporter

From the director of RED ROAD

FISH TANK is the story of Mia (KATIE JARVIS), a volatile 15-year-old, who is always in trouble and who has become excluded from school and ostracized by her friends. One hot summer day her mother (KIERSTON WAREING) brings home a mysterious stranger called Connor (MICHAEL FASSBENDER) who promises to change everything and bring love into all their lives.

Casablanca plus Sweetheart Sing Along!

Casablanca plus Sweetheart Sing Along!

A new Valentine’s Day tradition and benefit for Gilda’s Club!

Join the Music Box Theatre as we pay tribute to one of the greatest love stories of all time, all while helping out a great cause. The Music Box Theatre’s annual screening of this classic film has two added bonuses. First, the screening will begin with a special “Valentines Day Sweetheart Sing Along” which will feature some of Love’s favorite songs complete with projected lyrics and the Music Box’s organ accompanying all those in attendance. Songs will include “You Are My Sunshine,” “Bicycle Built For Two,” and “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off.” Second, a portion of each ticket will go to Gilda’s Club Chicago— a free support community for everyone living with cancer – men, women, teens and children – along with their families and friends.

February 14 at 2:00

Individual tickets $11
“Sweetheart Deal” $20 (admits two)

The Hottest Night of Winter

The Hottest Night of Winter

Hottest Night of Winter (the Southport corridor’s romantic celebration of Valentine’s Day) presents the return engagement of Michelle Lamour’s Belles & Whistles. Michelle and her Chicago Starlets bring another sexy, action packed show to life, full of vintage burlesque striptease, amazing feats of mysticism and acrobatics and special guests from around the world. Couples of every stripe will not want to miss this steamy show full of glamor and camp. Every year, this amazing show sells out, so book your tickets early.

The Room

The Room

“Must be seen to be disbelieved.”
The Chicagoist

“THE ROOM has inspired Rocky Horror-like audience participation, but the film's own campy, amateur charm is a riot in itself.”
Flavorpill

This “electrifying American black comedy about love, passion, betrayal and lies” stars (and was directed, written and produced by) the mysterious Tommy Wiseau, and has been a cult favorite in LA for almost 6 years. ‘Enter The Room and leave forever changed!’”

Saturday Night Fever

Saturday Night Fever

Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at the local disco, where he’s king of the club, thanks to his stylish moves on the dance floor. Set to the popular dance music of the Bee Gees, this instant cinematic sensation revealed the fashions and aspirations of an underground culture to the world.
