The Vintage Theatre presents live performances as well as improv and classes for all ages. The Aurora Fox Arts Center, home to the Aurora Fox Theater Company, provides a season of live theater that reflects the city’s commitment to quality entertainment and diversity.   Dining and shopping are equally plentiful in Aurora.
