Programmed and Presented by SitStayRead & Chicago Canine Rescue
Come early and meet puppies in the Music Box Lounge
Two beloved Chicago nonprofits, Chicago Canine Rescue and SitStayRead join forces this winter to bring you a family-friendly matinée film screening of THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS. All proceeds will be shared by the two organizations.
Join 700 dog, book, and movie lovers of all ages for a special screening of vintage cartoons and 2016 animated hit from Illumination, The Secret Life of Pets.
Chicago Canine Rescue will introduce you to puppies or dogs currently looking for their forever home. Staff, Book Buddies, and Certified Reading Assistance Dogs will be on hand as well, to share about SitStayRead's literacy work and volunteer opportunities, before the film starts in the Music Box Lounge.
Ticket and pre-ordered concessions sales support our dog rescue and canine-assisted literacy work. VIP, child or adult general admission, and family packages are available. Music Box Theatre members receive a $5 discount on individual tickets.
Have a great day at the movies while supporting two nonprofits that help Chicago reach its full potential as a healthy, thriving city for kids and four-legged friends.

Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
