In the mood for a film that covers all the bases; love, adultery, jealousy, revenge, and to top it all off, murder? Never fear, “House of Gucci” is here! And if that wasn’t enough reason to run to Lincoln Theater to see this latest hit from Ridley Scott, critics are raving about Lady Gaga whose performance as the infamous Patrizia Reggiani will definitely put her name on the list for an Academy Award nomination in 2022.

Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to postpone the Dec. 31 Open House event at Lincoln Theater. We wish we could all be together to mingle and celebrate and raise a toast to 2022. Wishing you all a very happy and healthy New Year.
