Movie - Green and Gold

Green and Gold

Friday, January 31
Regal Manchester Cinemas - 1935 Cinema Dr.
Meet around 1 PM

Foreclosure looms over Wisconsin dairy farmer Buck (Craig T. Nelson). With mounting debt and the land his family has cultivated for four generations at risk, Buck refuses to give up his legacy without a fight. Buck’s granddaughter (Madison Lawlor) works alongside him but dreams of a career in music. Her aspirations are fanned by an emerging friendship with a famous musician (Brandon Sklenar), but chasing her dreams might take her far from the farm. With time running out, Buck places a daring Super Bowl bet on his beloved Green Bay Packers, risking it all to save everything he holds dear.  Details

Winthrop University Theatre: Into the Woods

Friday, February 28 at 10 AM
Johnson Theatre - 1920 Alumni Dr.
Cost: $6

What happens after 'Happily Ever After'? In Sondheim and Lapine's beloved retelling of Grimm's classics, a parade of familiar folktale figures find their way 'into the woods' and try to get home before dark - what begins as a irreverent fantasy becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children.
