Upcoming Events
THROWBACK THURSDAY QUIZZO & MOVIE: CLUELESS
AMY HECKERLING | USA | 1995
September 6 | 7:30 PM | Prince Theater Black Box
Does any other movie perfectly encapsulate the fashion and lingo of the 90s like CLUELESS? As if! Amy Heckerling’s witty, breezy Jane Austen adaptation follows genetically blessed but unlucky-in-love teen Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) as she rolls with her homies Dionne (Stacey Dash) and Tai (Brittany Murphy) around Beverly Hills, giving makeovers and making matches wherever she goes. But will all of Cher’s well-intentioned meddling work out in her favor, or will she be left totally buggin’? Whether you’re a Betty, a Baldwin, or just a virgin who can’t drive, there’s something for you in this phat exploration of love, friendship, and the vaguely icky bond between step-siblings.
PFS Young Friends members will get their first drink on us! Find a YF Board Member at the event to get a free glass of wine or beer!
