Christmas Cinema: The Nightmare Before Christmas

Tired of scaring humans every October 31 with the same old bag of tricks, Jack Skellington, the spindly king of Halloween Town, kidnaps Santa Claus and plans to deliver shrunken heads and other ghoulish gifts to children on Christmas morning.

But as Christmas approaches, Jack's rag-doll girlfriend, Sally, tries to foil his misguided plans.

Make Room

All proceeds from ticket sales and additional donations will go to Make Room and help those who need it most. Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation (ABN 63 635 798 473) is supporting public fundraising for Make Room by providing tax deductible receipts for all donations.

Make Room involves converting a Council owned building to deliver 50 studio apartments, housing and homelessness services, and other support. Residents will stay for up to 12 months, or until they are connected with long-term housing. Our Good Giving campaign this festive season is raising funds to complete a dedicated floor for women, who are the fastest-growing group of people experiencing homelessness in our city.
