The beloved 1939 film, starring Judy Garland as Dorothy, has captured the hearts of audiences for generations with its memorable characters, enchanting music, and iconic scenes. To commemorate this special milestone, the Lincoln Theater will be screening the film in all its Technicolor glory, allowing viewers to experience the magic on the big screen once again. This event will feature a host of celebratory activities, including a Yellow Brick Road photo booth with Dorothy.

 

We encourage you to dress as your favorite character from the film - you may even win a prize! One lucky adult will win a free membership for this season’s Classic Film Club, and we’ll have a special prize for a young audience member too! "The Wizard of Oz is a cherished classic film," said Lincoln Theater Executive Director Christina Belknap. "I’ve watched it with my children, but never on the big screen! I am excited to bring our community together to celebrate and share in the nostalgia and joy that this film brings."

 

We are pleased to welcome Jeanie MacDonald, our Classic Film Club host, who will offer a pre-screening introduction sharing behind-the-scenes info as well as an opportunity for questions and conversation following the film. Jeanie is a film historian and lifelong movie fan, beginning her career as a producer at two Boston TV stations. After moving to Los Angeles, Jeannie wrote marketing copy for Paramount Television on the studio’s iconic Hollywood lot.
