Park Ridge's beloved Pickwick Theatre to close next year

PARK RIDGE, Ill. - The Pickwick Theatre will close its doors in January, ending a nearly century-long run as a mainstay in northwest suburban Park Ridge.

The art deco entertainment venue opened in 1928 as a vaudeville stage and movie theater.

Owners of the theater said they have been losing money since the start of the pandemic.
