As part of Theater Thursdays: Double Feature, we conclude our September screenings with a film that explores identity, free will, and the courage to question reality. Set in a meticulously constructed world, it reminds us that authentic living requires the willingness to face the unknown.

The Truman Show follows an ordinary man who slowly discovers that his entire life has been staged as a television show, secretly broadcast to the world since birth. Beneath its satire is a story about autonomy, self-discovery, and what it truly means to be free.

Join us for a discussion following the film.

Closing our September Double Feature, American Psycho shifts from earnest self-discovery to biting satire, asking what happens when identity becomes nothing more than a performance of status and surface. Together with The Truman Show, these films examine the masks we wear and the terrifying gap between appearance and authentic selfhood.

American Psycho follows Patrick Bateman, a wealthy Wall Street executive whose polished exterior conceals a growing, murderous void beneath. Through its dark satire, the film explores identity, consumerism, and the emptiness of a life built entirely on image.

Join us for a discussion following this unsettling cinematic experience.
