On Monday, Nov. 24, Bethany family and friends are invited to see the final “Wicked” movie—where we learn how being honest and brave and outspoken cost Elphaba, the “Wicked Witch of the West,” everything.
The movie starts at 12:15 p.m. at the Cinemark Century Laguna Theater, 9349 Big Horn Blvd., Elk Grove. Click here for the location. Meet in the lobby at 11:45. Tickets are $8.50 inside the lobby. NOTE: Tickets are selling fast. To save your seat, e-mail your reservation now or see Nga Chau or Cathy Sapunor any Sunday morning at Bethany.
Anyone and everyone can participate in movie outings, which take place 3-4 times a month.
““Wicked” succeeds as entertainment but it also might inspire us to ask some important questions. In our society, who is good and who is wicked—and who gets to decide?”
“In keeping with tradition, the film is unafraid of its political moment. Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel was partly inspired by the Gulf War and the 2003 stage musical by the aftermath of September 11 and the imminent invasion of Iraq. Now, as we watch the creatures of Oz being stripped of their voices and their rights, we hear distinct echoes of the real world. ”
