AURORA THEATRE PRESENTS

Christmas Canteen (in July)

Saturday, July 23 at 8 p.m.

Tickets starting at $15

LAC Courtyard

Christmas only comes once a year… and that is simply not enough. Aurora Theatre is hauling out the holly for a summertime sprinkle of holiday magic. Guests are encouraged to bring beach chairs and kick back for an evening of fun al fresco. Just like the wintertime version, this show has humor, heart and spectacular music. Christmas Canteen (in July) has Aurora Theatre more excited than a child trying to fall asleep on Christmas Eve.

COMEDY

Aurora Comedy Nights: Rob Cleveland

Friday, July 8 and Saturday, July 9 at 8 p.m.

Standard Tickets $20

Morgan Cabaret

Audiences love Rob as an actor from his many appearances on stage at Aurora (I’m Not Rappaport, The Bridges of Madison County and more), but before he was one of Atlanta’s busiest actors, he was one of the hardest-working comics on the national circuit. Rob is a brilliant observational comedian who finds the silly in those everyday things we tend to gloss over.

Dose of Comedy: Dad’s Garage

Friday, July 12 and Saturday, July 13

5 p.m. - Family Show

8 p.m. - Mature Audience

Tickets are FREE

Metro Waterproofing Mainstage

If laughter is the best medicine, consider Dad’s Garage your doctor. Aurora will host a night of comedy and laughs featuring entertaining stories from champions of the community and leave audiences feeling better than when they arrived!

Dad’s Garage Theatre is proud to partner with The Urban Clinic of Atlanta. The Urban Clinic will be providing free vaccinations, information about vaccines and $50 gift cards for every dose taken.

MARY POPPINS

Mary Poppins Movie Event

Clyde & Sandra Strickland Grand Stage Theatre

In anticipation of the upcoming musical, Aurora invites the community to gather to watch the film that started it all.

This free event is fun for the whole family.

Ticket On-Sale Date
