Home Alone: Free Community Movie

October 20, 2021 by Carrie Wallace Leave a Comment

Sunday, December 5th, 2021

Rated PG

doors 4:30 pm \ film 5:00 pm

FREE!

Steddy Theater

PLEASE NOTE:  Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test must be shown for entry to events at the Center.  See our current COVID policy HERE.

Join us in the Grace Atrium Lobby starting 30 minutes before the movie for themed drinks, mingling, and fresh-popped popcorn.

When bratty 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) acts out the night before a family trip to Paris, his mother (Catherine O’Hara) makes him sleep in the attic. After the McCallisters mistakenly leave for the airport without Kevin, he awakens to an empty house and assumes his wish to have no family has come true. But his excitement sours when he realizes that two con men (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) plan to rob the McCallister residence, and that he alone must protect the family home.

The musical performance will feature both individual student and faculty performances along with larger ensembles that will encompass different musical styles throughout the evening. This event is free and open to the public, but capacity may be limited due to COVID restrictions. If you are unable to attend the opening, the exhibition will run until April 30, 2020. A very special thanks to the Student Art League, Art and Music Departments, and the Council for Creative Expressions for supporting this event.
