Mommie Dearest Screening and Brunch @ Music Box Theatre

Published May 9, 2010 at 5:07 p.m.

The Music Box Theatre, Camp Midnight, and Blue Bayou are teaming up for a Mother's Day celebration worthy of applause. The Music Box is screening the cult classic Mommie Dearest (1981) with a series of pre-show entertainment provided by Dick O'Day and the Hell in a Handbag players. There will be a mother/daughter matching outfit contest, a music video from the Joan Crawford-inspired band the Joans, and finally a interactive screening of Mommie Dearest that begs for audience participation. The pre-show entertainment and screening start at the Music Box Theatre (3733 North Southport Avenue) at 1:30pm. Blue Bayou, directly across the street from the Music Box, will be hosting a discounted brunch 9am to 1pm. Mother-child duos will receive 15% off their order when they mention they are attending Mommie Dearest. Tickets for the screening are $12 and can be purchased in advance through Brown Paper Tickets. Reservations for brunch at Blue Bayou can be made by calling (773)
