Sat. Nov. 1, 4:30 PM - 8:30 PM: GNUUC Movie Night with Pizza and Popcorn (Fellowship Hall & Sanctuary)

Join us on Saturday, November 1 at 4:30 PM for Movie Night with pizza and popcorn!

We’ll be watching Wicked: Part 1 before Wicked: Part 2 comes out in theaters. Wicked is rated PG.

Adults - you will enjoy this movie too! Please come! Wicked reframes a familiar fantasy based on The Wizard of OZ, through complex moral, political, and social questions. It challenges the ideas of good and evil, showing how systems of power define morality to maintain control. The main character, Elphaba refuses to conform when she sees injustice, choosing truth over reputation. Wicked also explores how propaganda, fear, and bureaucracy sustain power. The Wizard’s regime depends on controlling narratives and silencing dissent. In short, Wicked asks profoundly adult questions: What does it cost to stay true to your values? How do we tell truth from illusion when authority shapes the story?
