Rich Criss in Concert: A Christmas Celebration
Rich Criss will once again grace the stage of the Egyptian Theatre for a night that shouldn't be missed. For the first time ever this benefit concert will be a Christmas Celebration! This concert is given as a gift to the community by Rich Criss Ministries as all ticket proceeds will go towards ongoing expenses faced by the Egyptian Theatre. Rich Criss Ministries will be joined by special guests, “The Good News Quartet,” a southern gospel quartet and Zachary Harris, a talented DeKalb singer, who will open the show. This concert will blend beautiful arrangements of Christmas classics like "O Come, All Ye Faithful," "Joy to the World", "Silent Night" and "O Holy Night" with contemporary Christmas songs like "Bethlehem Morning," "Christmas Shoes" and others. You will not want to miss this Christmas celebration!

If your parents asked you not to speak about it at the dinner table, chances are it will be made fun of in an evening with The Second City.
Egyptian Theatre Seating Sponsorship Campaign
Amazingly the theatre seats are still the original seats installed in 1929 when the theatre opened. This is no surprise to anyone who attends events at the theatre as they are witness to the uncomfortable and worn seats. After nearly 80 years it is now time to retire the existing seats and join together as a community to reclaim the glamour of the Egyptian.
The Egyptian Theatre Seating Sponsorship Campaign offers you a unique opportunity to create a prominent legacy in this historic landmark. Your donation to the Egyptian Theatre will place the name of your family, friend or business in the spotlight. Your donation is commemorated with a personalized engraving on an elegant brass plaque that will be mounted on a new seat. All other financial donations towards the seating sponsorship campaign will be recognized on a plaque in the theatre lobby.
Please consider making a donation to The Egyptian Theatre Seating Sponsorship Campaign and help continue the preservation of this treasure in our community.
