Film screening: “Big Night”
The Lincoln Library Film Society presents “Big Night” on Thursday, May 19 at 6 p.m. in the library’s Tarbell Room. Directed by Stanley Tucci and Campbell Scott, starring Tucci, Tony Shalhoub, and Minnie Driver. It’s the story of two brothers whose Italian restaurant is on the brink of bankruptcy. Their only chance for success is to risk everything they own on an extravagant feast for bandleader Louis Prima. But their big night is complicated by a lovers’ triangle, a sneaky restaurant rival, and the hilarious perfection of chef Primo.

Dust off your wigs, platforms, and polyester because the annual Club Codman event benefitting Codman Community Farms is finally returning on Saturday, May 21. It’s like Halloween for grown-ups, minus the kids, plus great music and great drinks. Warm up with local favorite Dadda, then dance the night away with special guest DJ Tony Clarke. Cash bar and free popcorn, plus bragging rights and golden egg trophies for the winners of Club Codman’s first annual costume contest (costumes from the Swinging Sixties to today’s festival wear are very popular and encouraged). Tickets are $60; click here to purchase (the event sells out in advance).
