Pride and Prejudice Saturday, Jan. 30 9 PM (EST)
In this adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved novel, Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley) lives with her mother, father and sisters in the English countryside. As the eldest, she faces mounting pressure from her parents to marry. When the outspoken Elizabeth is introduced to the handsome and upper-class Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen), sparks fly. Although there is obvious chemistry between the two, Darcy's overly reserved nature threatens the fledgling relationship.

A Guided Journaling Workshop Wednesday, Feb. 6 8 AM (EST)
Waking up a little early is worth this much-needed exercise in self-care. All you need is a pen, a journal, a hot cup of coffee/tea, and an open mind.
This workshop will take place via Zoom. Soothing music, guided writing prompts, and a safe space online will be provided. Keeping your video camera on is encouraged, but certainly not required!
Moonstruck Saturday, Feb. 6 9 PM (EST)
No sooner does Italian-American widow Loretta (Cher) accept a marriage proposal from her doltish boyfriend, Johnny (Danny Aiello), than she finds herself falling for his younger brother, Ronny (Nicolas Cage). She tries to resist, but Ronny lost his hand in an accident he blames on his brother, and has no scruples about aggressively pursuing her while Johnny is out of the country. As Loretta falls deeper in love, she comes to learn that she's not the only one in her family with a secret romance.
