Experience one of the greatest films in American cinema with a special screening of Citizen Kane on Thursday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. Admission is just $5. The groundbreaking 1941 classic opens with the death of media titan Charles Foster Kane, whose enigmatic final word, “Rosebud,” sends a reporter on a quest to uncover the truth behind the powerful yet profoundly isolated figure. Through a series of conflicting interviews, the film explores Kane’s rise from poverty, his creation of a vast newspaper empire, his political ambitions, and the scandal that led to his downfall. Hailed as the best American film ever made and an Academy Award winner, this bold and controversial portrait—loosely inspired by publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst—remains a must-see on the big screen.
