Democracy at 250: Is It Worth Saving?
On the 250th anniversary of the vote for American independence, we’ll examine one of the nation’s defining ideals: democracy. As democratic institutions face mounting challenges around the world, we’ll ask whether democracy is worth saving, how it can be improved, and whether alternatives deserve serious consideration.
The Birdcage 30th Anniversary Screening
Join your humanist friends for a 30th anniversary screening of The Birdcage. We are going to the 3:45 pm showing at the Citadel Mall Stadium 16 theater on Sunday, June 7th.
Released in 1996 and directed by Mike Nichols, The Birdcage is a sharp, hilarious comedy about family, identity, and the lengths people will go to for love. Set in the vibrant world of a Miami drag nightclub, the film follows longtime partners Armand Goldman and Albert as they scramble to present themselves as a conventional family when their son announces his engagement to the daughter of a socially conservative politician. What follows is a fast-paced farce filled with mistaken identities, escalating deceptions, and unforgettable performances by Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, and Dianne Wiest. Beneath the laughter, The Birdcage offers a surprisingly warm and humane message about authenticity, acceptance, and the absurdity of prejudice, making it as relevant and entertaining today as it was thirty years ago.
