Don't Miss "Of Mice and Men" on April 30th!

On Thursday, April 30th at 6:30pm in ECU's Estep Multimedia Center, ECUScreens will present the Broadway recorded-live production of “Of Mice and Men,” a play based on John Steinbeck's Nobel Prize winning story.

"Of Mice and Men" tells the tragic tale of two migrant workers, George (James Franco) and Lennie (Chris O'Dowd), who have dreams of buying their own farm during the Great Depression in California. This Broadway production, which was nominated for two Tony Awards®, also features the talents of Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) and Tony Award® winner Jim Norton (The Seafarer).

The Daily Telegraph states, "James Franco crackles with intensity. Chris O'Dowd is a revelation."

Independent calls it "A riveting, powerful production."

Tickets are available at the door prior to the screening. 
Free for ECU students (with ID). $5 for students. $10 for general admission.

It Would be Idiotic to Miss 3 Idiots this Friday, February 27th!

ECU Screens will be showing 3 Idiots, our last film in this year's Foreign Film Festival, on Friday, February 27th at 4:00 pm in ECU's Estep.

3 Idiots is a fun film that follows Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi who are on a search to find their long-lost college buddy, Rancho. While on their journey, they run into another student who, now very successful, reminds them of a bet they made 10 years prior. The three reminisce and embark on the journey to find Rancho and hilarity ensues.
