Producer’s Quote
Aurora Theatre Associate Producer Ann-Carol Pence when asked what audiences can expect from this year’s Christmas Canteen simply said, “More fun than ever, more Christmas than ever!” She went on to explain, “In a year when our community has helped us with an enormous fundraising campaign, Canteen is the sincerest way Anthony and I can show our deepest appreciation. By supporting us, you have already made our dreams come true.”
The Festival of Trees
In the lobby for Christmas Canteen 2012, Aurora’s Festival of Trees supports both the United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots drive and local food banks. From the whimsically clever to the breathtakingly spectacular, the Festival of Trees decks the halls of Aurora Theatre with almost 30 trees decorated by local businesses. All are encouraged to cast a vote for their favorite tree with a new unwrapped toy or a non-perishable food item to help ensure that everyone has a great holiday season. Generous thanks to the Holtkamp Can Challenge who handles the food drive delivering much needed food to our local food banks.
