This week at the Lincoln Theater
"The Wedding Banquet" - (R; 1 hour, 43 minutes) - A joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating cultural identity, queerness, and family expectations. Frustrated with his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris and running out of time, Min makes a proposal: a green-card marriage with their friend Angela in exchange for her partner Lee's expensive IVF. Elopement plans are upended, however, when Min's grandmother surprises them with an extravagant Korean wedding banquet. The Wedding Banquet is a poignant and heartfelt reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive. Final showtime Thursday June 5 at 2 p.m. Presented in partnership with Maine Health - Lincoln Health School Based Health Centers.
"A Streetcar Named Desire" - National Theatre Live - (R; 3 hours, 18 minutes) - Gillian Anderson (Sex Education), Vanessa Kirby (The Crown), and Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) lead the cast in Tennessee Williams’ timeless masterpiece, returning to cinemas.

From visionary director Benedict Andrews, this acclaimed production was filmed live during a sold-out run at the Young Vic Theatre in 2014. Thursday, June 5 at 6 p.m., Friday, June 6 at 2 p.m. Tickets: $15 adult, $13 LT member, and $5 youth (age 18 and under).
