Pickwick Theatre Classic Film Series

Pickwick Theatre Classic Film Series Official Fan Page of the Pickwick Theatre Classic Film Series Each screening receives the Red Carpet treatment as if it were coming out for the very first time.

September - May

Once a month from September to May the historic Pickwick Theatre in downtown Park Ridge hosts the Pickwick Theatre Classic Film Series. It is a series dedicated to bringing the very best of classic cinema back to the big screen for all generations to rediscover. Most months you will find the lobby decorated to the theme of the film. Always you will find our Host and his Hostesses

dressed for a gala occasion. Dressing up the theatre and ourselves has become our trademark as we work each month to bring your fantasy of going to an opening night screening to life. Please join us. We look forward to seeing you.
