(pride/prom) Film Screening

Friday, June 20, 2025, 6 p.m.

Four teens are lined up in the foreground, hugging each other while smiling and laughing. Their outfits are formal but not traditional; they wear dresses, suits, and dress shirts accented by silver chains, top hats, pride flag rainbow stickers, and colorful patterns. A large circus tent facade fills the background behind them. They are wearing heavy makeup in clown themes. They laugh, facing each other with their eyes closed in mirth, seemingly ignoring the camera.
