As you may be aware, Thursday 22 September was recently declared a national public holiday in light of the recent passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

We wish to advise that our scheduled screening for that evening, WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING, will still be proceeding as planned at 7:30 PM. There will be no change resulting from the public holiday.
