Summer Girl’s Night Out

This summer we are going to be hosting two Girls Night Out events! One will be a movie night and another out to see a play. Both events will be a fabulous time and if going to see a play is not in your family’s budget the good news is the movie night is free! Young Women are also welcome to join us.

Friday July 24th 8:00pm

We are going to meet in Cassandra Wilson's home to watch the movie
“Emma Smith: My Story”

From Emma’s point of view, we see the events that molded the wife of the Prophet Joseph Smith into a strong and compassionate woman. The film begins near the end of Emma's life. Her adopted daughter, Julia Murdock Smith, returns home to Emma and shares several hardships she has had. Emma relates to Julia some of her own life's experiences to give her a different perspective and illustrate the importance of maintaining faith amid such trials. Various turning points in Emma's life are revealed as she recounts experiences ranging from her childhood with a father that was very strict and who forbade praying in the home, to her courtship and marriage to Joseph Smith, and the challenges she faced in being the wife of the Prophet. The film also includes brief insights into her life and character after the martyrdom of Joseph until her own death in Nauvoo in 1879. http://www.emmasmithmovie.com/

Thoroughly Modern Millie”, is a high-spirited musical romp that has all of New York dancing the Charleston. Starring Richmond’s own Diana Kaarina, Thoroughly Modern Millie tells the story of a small-town girl, Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City in 1922 at the height of the Wall Street boom. She bobs her hair, assumes the modern look of a "flapper," and is determined to marry for money instead of love – a thoroughly modern aim in 1922 when women were just entering the workforce. The show is filled with great songs, fabulous dance numbers and of course, a great love story.

(the lady at the box office said the play is family approved and if it had a rating, it would be ‘G’ )
