As part of Theater Thursdays: Double Feature, we continue our July screenings with a film that explores nostalgia, conformity, and the awakening of individual consciousness. Set within the idealized black-and-white world of a 1950s sitcom, this story reflects on how comfort and control can mask the absence of freedom.

Pleasantville follows two modern teenagers transported into a fictional television town, where their presence gradually introduces color, desire, and dissent into a rigidly ordered world. Blending fantasy with social commentary, the film examines how change, art, and self-expression disrupt manufactured harmony. Join us for a discussion following this vibrant and thought-provoking cinematic experience. Admission is free, and no sign ups are required.
