Join us for the first CCB Movie Night: Friday November 7!

Join us at 6:30 PM in Crispell Lounge for a film screening of Groundhog Day and a moderated Discussion.

This classic 90s American fantasy romantic comedy starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliott, tells the story of a cynical television weatherman covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, PA, who becomes trapped in a time loop, forcing him to relive February 2 again and again. Reviewers consider it to be one of the greatest comedy films ever made. Buddhist, Christian, and Jewish scholars have analyzed the film as a religious allegory. Join our group to laugh together and discuss the movie’s many compelling themes.

CCB parishioner and curator of our Friday Movie Nights Catharine Park is a documentary filmmaker who has directed and executive produced documentary features and series for Netflix, Peacock, National Geographic, Starz, A&E, and the History Channel, among others. She is a member of the D.G.A. and graduate of Sarah Lawrence College.

Our series of CCB Movie Nights are spearheaded by the vestry events committee along with Catharine Park and fellow parishioner Brigid McMaster, who originated the idea for this exciting event. More movie nights are coming this winter and spring. See you there!
