Cancelled!! Reel Conversations: Wicked
🧹 Witch, Please! Let’s Talk Power, Prejudice, and Defying Gravity. What if the “wicked” one wasn’t wicked at all? In Wicked, the misunderstood Elphaba doesn’t just ride a broomstick—she flips the whole script. She challenges the system, calls out propaganda, and still makes time for a show-stopping duet or two.
✨ She’s green. She’s gifted. She’s done playing nice with fascist wizards. And we’re here for it.
Join us for Reel Conversations*, a night of popcorn, powerful scenes, and meaningful discussion about Wicked, the story behind the story behind The Wizard of Oz. Together, we’ll explore what happens when someone dares to speak truth to power—even when it means standing alone.
We’ll talk about:
- Who gets labeled “dangerous” and why
- Why complicity is comfortable but costly
- What it takes to defy gravity—and injustice
🎥 Watch the movie ahead of time (streaming info below), use this Viewers Guide to look for the themes we will discuss, then come ready to rewatch the big moments together, talk back to the narrative, and celebrate the courage it takes to be too much for the status quo. #TeamElphaba #NoWizardsAllowed #ReelConversations #DefyGravity
P.S. 👠If you’ve ever been called too loud, too bold, too much, or just too green — this night is for you. Come as you are, bring your broom, and let’s fly into some Wicked good trouble together. 💚🖤🧹🔥
*Reel Conversations – the Circle previously known as Faith & Film!
