The Music Box re-teams with Dick O'Day and Hell in a
Handbag Productions to present the second in their
seasonal series focusing on the best (and worst) in
camp movies – Camp Midnight. This time the trio
invites you to spend Mother’s Day with Mommie
Dearest. Mommie Dearest, the Mt. Everest of
Mother's Day movies will screen one time only, Sunday,
May 11th. Camp Midnight fans who made Sing-Along
Xanadu, Camp Midnight's initial presentation, are
invited to “get up early” for this special matinee
presentation that will include a Joan-a-Palooza day of
activities kicking off with a 2:30pm pre-show hosted by
Dick O’Day. Get out your eyebrow pencil, shoulder
pads and f*** me pumps to compete in the Joan
Crawford look-a-like contest!
Thrill to prize giveaways that include the new Crawford
biography Not the Girl Next Door by Charlotte Chandler
and DVD copies of Mommie Dearest signed by young
Christina portrayer Mara Hobel!
Be amazed at a special performance by The Joans, the
world’s first band dedicated to “giving Joan Crawford a
rock-n-roll voice.” Capture the moment for all eternity
with a special photo taken with Joan and Christina and
help benefit Season of Concern in Chicago. The 3pm
screening (complete with interactive audience guide)
immediately follows all this Mommie Dearest mayhem.
