The Dryden Theatre and The Little Theatre Come Together to Honor Legendary Director David Lynch

A series of screenings will take place at both theatres from March through July

Rochester, N.Y., March 20, 2025—

With the passing of David Lynch in January, modern cinema lost one of its enigmatic masters. Over a career of forty-five years, Lynch touched the worlds of television, film, music, and more. To honor his life and celebrate his work, the Dryden Theatre and The Little Theatre are collaborating to bring some of Lynch’s iconic, groundbreaking work to downtown Rochester cinemas in the best way possible—on the big screen.
