Snuggle Up: Family Movie Night at Audubon Friday

The weather outside may have dropped to almost freezing temperatures, but inside Audubon Elementary School, it’s the perfect season for a movie.

Roscoe Village Neighbors are sponsoring a fourth annual Family Movie Night at the elementary school on Friday starting at 7 p.m., and the feature film is The Lorax. Located at 3500 N Hoyne Ave., and organizers are making sure it’s just like the movies.

With stars like Taylor Swift and Betty White, Dr. Seuss' The Lorax was just recently released on DVD after it's debut in theaters. 

The imaginative world of Dr. Seuss comes to life like never before in this visually spectacular adventure from the creators of Despicable Me! Twelve-year-old Ted will do anything to find a real live Truffula Tree in order to impress the girl of his dreams.

As he embarks on his journey, Ted discovers the incredible story of the Lorax, a grumpy but charming creature who speaks for the trees. Featuring the voice talents of Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Rob Riggle, Jenny Slate, and Betty White, Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax is filled with hilarious fun for everyone!

From the giant 9-by-12-foot projection screen to concessions like popcorn, cotton candy and soda, families can watch the movie for a fraction of the cost of a movie theater. The event is free, with snacks costing a small fee.

And because the film will be projected in the school’s gymnasium, neighbors are encouraged to bring big blankets to relax on during the event. Chairs will also be set up toward the back of the gym if moviegoers would rather sit.

“Mark your calendar and join us for this fun-filled event,” the neighborhood reminder reads. “It's sure to be an awesome time!”

Also, Roscoe Village Neighbors could use four volunteers to help sell concessions before the show, and volunteers will still be able to join their families for the film. Email Chris Woods if you’re interested.
