“Do the Right Thing” -  (R; 2 hours) -  This is the fourth and final film in the Screen Thoughts film series, presented by host Christine Merser, with a focus on America’s Racial Struggles on the Screen. Salvatore “Sal” Fragione (Danny Aiello) is the Italian owner of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. A neighborhood local, Buggin’ Out (Giancarlo Esposito), becomes upset when he sees that the pizzeria’s Wall of Fame exhibits only Italian actors. Buggin’ Out believes a pizzeria in a black neighborhood should showcase black actors, but Sal disagrees. The wall becomes a symbol of racism and hate to Buggin’ Out and to other people in the neighborhood, and tensions rise. Christine will present an introduction to the film and lead a post screening discussion immediately following. Playing Thursday, May 30 at 7 p.m. and Friday, May 31 at 2 p.m.

“Challengers” - (R; 2 hours, 11 minutes) - From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, “Challengers” stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court. Married to a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist, West Side Story), Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O’Connor, The Crown) his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend.

This is a class for writers, actors, directors, storytellers, and anyone interested in producing their own works of fiction.

Those who have always wanted to try their hand at writing or acting, but have felt intimidated, this is your welcome space!” Classes will be held Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. beginning Tuesday, June 18 through Tuesday, July 23 (6 classes in total).
