LEHMAN, Pa. — Penn State Wilkes-Barre is partnering with R/C Wilkes-Barre Movies 14 in downtown Wilkes-Barre to host a film and discussion series, It’s Time To Laugh! Open to students and members of the general public, the film series will feature "Animal House," "The Naked Gun: From The Files of the Police Squad," "Young Frankenstein," "Fargo," and "Blazing Saddles."
All film screenings will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursdays beginning Oct. 13 and running through Nov. 10 at R/C Wilkes-Barre Movies 14 in downtown Wilkes-Barre. Pre-film lecture notes and stimulating post-film discussion will accompany each screening in the series.
