Camp Midnight presents 'The Poseidon Adventure'
Camp Midnight presentsTHE POSEIDON ADVENTURE: The Upside Down New Year's Eve Adventure
Chicago's only New Years Eve film event
CAMP MIDNIGHT (Hell in a Handbag and Dick O'day) presents the fourth in their seasonal series focusing on the best (and worst) in camp movies this New Year's Eve with a screening of the most beloved disaster flick in cinema history, The Poseidon Adventure. This 1972 classic tells the tale of a tottering ocean liner that flips over one fateful New Year's Eve.
"Passengers" are invited to embark at 11:00 p.m. for the camptacular Camp Midnight pre-show hosted by your Captain Dick O'Day and staffed by the hearty crew of Hell in a Handbag Productions. Then sit back and enjoy a screening of the film on the big screen, complete with an audience interactive guide.
The screening of the film will be timed so that theatre patrons AND their celluloid counterparts will celebrate midnight at the EXACT SAME TIME. Audience members will truly "flip" for this uniquely fantabulous film presentation. Admission includes a complimentary champagne toast and party favors.
This unique event is Chicago's only New Year's Eve FILM event. A portion of the proceeds will help fund the forthcoming revival of Hell in a Handbag's hit musical Poseidon! An Upside Down Musical. Reserve your deck chair now! 70's cruisewear preferred!

WHERE: Music Box Theatre, 3733 N. Southport Ave, Chicago
