FRIDAY

FILM

Holiday Homecoming 2021
Shed the lingering skin of pandemic-era isolation and come on “home” for a craft-themed holiday party where you can make friends with fellow film-lovers, swap art, and sing karaoke. “Imagine the exuberance you always longed for in your tender, vulnerable, teenaged heart, and dress for that,” writes the theater. If you more need outfit inspiration, know that there will be an “Enchantment Under the Sea” photo booth.
