Let’s go to the movies! The Aurora Fox Arts Center is bringing classic, family-friendly films to the big screen with its new Fox Flix series. The program aims to fill the void left by the recent closure of some of the metro area’s most beloved independent movie houses. Attendees are invited to sit back, relax and enjoy some of cinema’s greatest hits in the comfort of Aurora’s favorite historic theater.
