The Kutler Center is the proud sponsor of Cinema Sundays, hosted by Ted Walch. Each year, a series of films is screened followed by a thought-provoking discussion. It’s casual. It’s fun. And it’s free. You may attend as many or as few of the screenings/discussions as you wish. The films vary widely in kind and flavor. The series is open to parents, alums, parents of alums, community members, and current students.

The 2020-2021 series will begin virtually. Be sure to watch the movie before attending the discussion. As soon as it is safe to meet in person, the series will offer a mix of live screenings and virtual discussions. Virtual discussions begin at 4:00 PM and end at 5:00 PM. Live screenings begin at 3:00 PM, and the discussion concludes by 6:00 PM. Contact us to be sent the links for the virtual discussions, to be added to our email distribution, or to ask any questions.
