Celebrating the music of Chicago and Three Dog Night
The Chicago Authority, a nine-piece
tribute to Chicago, and Eli, a seven-piece tribute to Three Dog Night, hit the Palace
Theater stage November 23rd at 7pm to benefit Lockport’s Santa’s
Christmas Cottage and the Historic Palace Theater! Both bands – 16 musicians –
will perform on stage together during the show’s open and finale. Each band
will also play their own sets; over one hour of hits from each band!
Proceeds
to benefit Santa’s Christmas Cottage and Historic Palace Theater
Lockport’s own Santa Claus, also
known as Chris Parada, welcomes about 10,000 visitors a year to Santa’s
Christmas Cottage. Chris and his father built the Christmas Cottage using their
own funds so Santa would have a home base where thousands of children can
visit, tell Santa all about Christmas, and have their photos taken free of
charge. Each year, Santa also visits the homes of needy families to make sure
the kids have a gift to open on Christmas Day. Chris explains, “For years I
wanted to have a special place where children could come visit Santa, drop off
a letter in the North Pole Mailbox and be introduced to history that took place
many years ago. I also wanted to continue the family tradition that has been
such a big part of our lives.”
Lockport’s Historic Palace Theater, Inc.,
is a non-profit community-based organization dedicated to maintaining the
historic and architectural integrity of this magnificent 91-year-old Western
New York landmark. Each year the venue hosts live plays, musicals, community
events, concerts, and popular movies for tens of thousands of patrons.
