Lincoln Theater launches its fourth season of “Stories to Screen” with a free book give-away on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 10 a.m.

In “Stories to Screen,” the theater screens a family film for free on select Saturday mornings, based on a classic story.  Copies of the book on which the films are based are also given out – though reading of the book is not required to attend and enjoy the movie.

This fall, the theater celebrates Dr. Seuss with “The Lorax,” “Horton Hears a Who,” and “The Cat in the Hat.”  It also celebrates 150th birthday of Louisa May Alcott’s classic tale, “Little Women.”  There are 50 free copies of each book available for pickup – one per family, please.

“Horton Hears a Who” (G) will screen Saturday, Sept. 22, “The Lorax” (PG) Saturday, Sept. 29, and “The Cat in the Hat” on Saturday, Nov. 3.  All showings are at 10 a.m.

“Little Women” takes over in October with free showings of the first major dramatization in 24 years of Louisa May Alcott's novel about the lives of the four March sisters during the American Civil War as they learn to navigate love, loss and the trials of growing up.  This three-part BBC/Masterpiece series will play Saturday, Oct. 13, 20 and 27.

Additional information can be found on the theater’s website, lcct.org.   Doors open at 10 a.m. to pick up free copies of the books on Sept. 8.  Stay tuned for the next series as well when Lincoln Theater will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter by giving away complete sets of the books and showing all eight Harry Potter films.
