Downtown Aurora is getting ready to deck the halls with laughter with The Second City Dysfunctional Holiday Revue - a comedy act that delivers a healthy dose of seasonal satire with holiday film classics, family gatherings, improvised Christmas carols, even Joseph and Mary - December 13-23 at The Copley Theatre, 8 E.
